This legend serves to exemplify the danger that comes with having power, because not only can you lose it immediately, you can even lose your life. “For him who sees a sword drawn over his impious head, the feasts of Sicily, with their refinement, will have no sweet taste, and the song of the birds, and the strains of the zither, will not restore his sleep, the sweet sleep that does not disdain the humble dwellings of the peasants nor a shady riverbank nor the bowers of Tempe caressed by the zephyrs.” Horace, Odes III, 1
