"content": "In his famous book, The Prince, the celebrated Florentine, historian, diplomat, philosopher and human history writer, Niccolo Machiavelli, cites King Hiero of Syracuse as an exceptionally virtuous man. However, even this man of virtue had his failings. That is why the Greek prophet, Plutarch, tells of an encounter which King Hiero had with one of his enemies. As the king was talking to one of his enemies, the enemy told the king in a reproachful and dishonourable manner that the king had a stinking breath. The king, feeling dismayed, went to the person who should have known him better – that is his wife. He asked the wife; “How come you have never told me that I had this problem all these years?” The wife, being a simple chaste woman told him: “My Lord, my King, His Excellency, all my life I have thought all men’s breath smell that way.”"
