    LOVE THAT Story ! A wonderful addition to all your videos.
    The sword hangs over the person's head by a single Hair...
    That is what the Ruler / King's life feels like every day (back then) as even their own Sons may conspire to End the King's life and take the throne.

    By the time he misled a group of bandits, the sword of Damocles was hanging over his head. The gold-hunger marauders followed him in the hope of finding any precious metal somewhere in the mysterious forest.

    Didn't know about the story behind the expression( 🙏👍) ■ Everyone has a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, in certain ways .You don't have to be a king to be in that position.Though I wouldn't have made that remark to the king. Even though I felt he might have read my thoughts. In all probability he 'd have. said, "Get. those worries out of your. pretty little head, girl. Go get yourself yourself a.husband."(As. if I had nothing else to do).But I would not say that to him either In any case, he would have said, "Look, child /fillette, I'm a big strong boy, I'll manage sword or Aladdin's lamp." And of course I would agree, with a tilt of my head, demurely

    Since the beginning of this year, a sword of Damocles started hanging over his head. He is to pay a huge amount of money monthly for the mortgage, the company is laying off employees because its downsizing, he may be laid off at any time, and he may lose his lovely house. The heavy burden almost overturns him, and he can not get rid of his worries for the present time.
