Dionysius, King of Syracuse, had a courtier named Damocles, who always flattered him saying, "How grand it must be to be a great king like you, sir!" One day Dionysius said to him, "You shall be king for one night as a reward for your loyalty". Damocles was over-joyed, and that night he sat on the king's seat at the head of the table, dressed in the royal robe: But as the feast began he chanced to look up and saw over his head a heavy sword hanging by a single thread. The dreadful sight spoiled his dinner and all his pleasure and pride. He was very glad when the feast was over and he could leave the royal seat. Next day Dionysius asked him how he had enjoyed himself: "Not at all", cried Damocles, "At the time I was in terror of the dreadful sword falling on my head". "Now", said Dionysus smiling, "You know what it feels like to be a king".
