Memoir Damocles Sword Locket Silver Brass Pendant

Damocles is a figure featured in a single moral anecdote concerning the Sword of Damocles which was a late addition to classical Greek culture. The figure belongs properly to legend rather than Greek myth. Damocles was a courtier in the court of King Dionysius. Dionysius had successfully conveyed a sense of the constant fear in which the mankind lives. A sword hanging on head, is a metaphor, that comes from this sword, which is legendary, and quite historical in nature. The pendant is a young, and modern accessory, with no parellels elsewhere. The chain is long enough so that pendant can be tucked inside, Chain can simply be cut, if pendant needs to be worn close to neck. It looks good on both Men and Women. A classic party, pub and disco wear. A unique fashion accessory.
