Damocles was the courtier of Dionysus II, the tyrant of Syracuse in the 4th century BC. He likes to flatter Dionysus very much. He flatters: As a great man with power, Dionysus is really lucky. Dionysus offered to exchange identities with him for one day, and let him try the fate of the leader.

Damocles liked being king at the banquet held in the evening. When the dinner was almost over, he looked up and noticed that there was only one sword hanging above the throne with a horsehair. He immediately lost interest in food and beautiful women and asked the tyrant to let him go. He never wants to have such luck again.
