Artist's Comments
Damocles, a flattering young courtier in the court of Dionysos I (4th Century BC, Syracuse) exclaimed that Dionysos, due to his great power was truly very fortunate. One day Dionysos offered him to switch place with him for a day. A banquet was held and not until the end of the day, Damocles noticed a sharpened sword hanging by a single piece of horsehair over his head.
"That sword! That sword!" whispered Damocles. "Don't you see it?" "Of course I see it," said Dionysius. "I see it every day. Dionysos taught him that to be a King is not an easy task. "If you want to be a leader, you must be willing to accept risks. They come with the power, you see." It's also a lesson in the importance of understanding someone's experience.

 reports, 1d 3h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
