Trivia of the Day

What is Damocle’s sword and why is it dangerous?

Damocles was a member of Dionysius’ court in ancient Syracuse. He was envious of Dionysius’ power and wealth, not being able to see the negatives attached to it.  To cure Damocles of this misperception he invited him to a sumptuous feast.  All was well with the feast until Damocles realized that a sharp and heavy sword was hanging directly over his head, attached to the ceiling by a single thin thread.  Damocles lost his appetite and told Dionysius that the threat of the sword falling ruined the glory of the feast for him.  Dionysius replied, ‘Under such a threat do I enjoy my wealth and power.’   Damocles never again envied the king.
