Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The short tale "The Sword of Damocles" by Anna Katharine Green is based on a myth from ancient Greece. The protagonist of the tale is a courtier by the name of Damocles who is often extolling the extravagant lifestyle and contentment of his monarch, Dionysius. Damocles accepts Dionysius' offer to let him sample this way of life for himself. Damocles, on the other hand, is reminded of the perpetual danger and instability that come with living as a king while at the meal when he notices a blade suspended over his head by a single horsehair. Damocles comes to the conclusion of the tale realizing that the life of a king is not as glamorous as he had thought. The unstable nature of power and the perils of ambition are typically symbolized by the narrative.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sword of Damocles: A Story of New York Life Damocles, one of the courtiers of Dionysius, was perpetually extolling with rapture that tyrant's treasurer, grandeur, the number of his troops, the extent of his dominions, the magnificence of his palaces, and the universal abundance of all good things and enjoyments in his possession; always repeating, that never man was happier than Dionysius. "Since you are of that opinion," said the tyrant to him one day, "will you taste and make proof of my felicity in person?" The offer was accepted with joy; Damocles was placed upon a golden couch, covered with carpets richly embroidered. The side-boards were loaded with vessels of gold and silver. The most beautiful slaves in the most splendid habits stood around, ready to serve him at the slightest signal. The most exquisite essences and perfumes had not been spared. The table was spread with proportionate magnificence. Damocles was all joy, and looked upon himself as the happiest man in the world; when unfortunately casting up his eyes, he beheld over his head the point of a sword, which hung from the roof only by a single horse-hair.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Musaicum Books presents to you this carefully created volume of "The Greatest Works of Anna Katharine Green". This ebook has been designed and formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. Anna Katharine Green (1846-1935) was one of the first writers of detective fiction in America and distinguished herself by writing well plotted, legally accurate stories. Green has been called "the mother of the detective novel". She is credited with shaping detective fiction into its classic form, and developing the series detective. Her main character was detective Ebenezer Gryce of the New York Metropolitan Police Force, but in three novels he is assisted by the nosy society spinster Amelia Butterworth, the prototype for Miss Marple, Miss Silver and other creations. She also invented the 'girl detective': in the character of Violet Strange, a debutante with a secret life as a sleuth. Indeed, as journalist Kathy Hickman writes, Green "stamped the mystery genre with the distinctive features that would influence writers from Agatha Christie and Conan Doyle to contemporary authors of suspenseful "whodunits".
