The Sword of Damocles
There are three courtiers who served the king, Dionicius. Of the three courtiers, one who is named Damocles was most "king admiring". The king gave Damocles the chance to be a king for one day and be treated like one. But not so long later he realizes that there is a sword above his head hanged by a string which might fall on him any moment.
The moral of the this whole story can probably be shown in just one sentence. It is to show that being rich and powerful among others has a risk and can be very frightening.
I think this myth is for the people who are not much in power or neither rich. It is for them to not want to desire for too many things and that they are ways to be happy just the way they are.
