Damokles

Damokles

the Greek courtier to Dionysius the Elder who (according to legend) was condemned to sit under a naked sword that was suspended by a hair in order to demonstrate to him that being a king was not the happy state Damocles had said it was (4th century BC) [grški dvorjan, ki je služil Dioniziju Starejšemu in je bil (po legendi) obsojen, da sedi pod golim mečem, ki je bil obesl na konico lase, da bi mu pokazali, da biti kralj ni srečno stanje, kot je rekel Damokles (4. stoletje pr. n. št.)]
