"pyrrhic" comes from Pyrrhus, who was a Greek who successfully attacked the Romans, but whose army suffered so many losses that he had to give up eventually. Therefore "pyrrhic" now refers to any time anyone wins or is successful, but ruins themselves in the process of winning (so that there was no benefit to winning)

There are lots of other examples from greek history, like hercules -> herculean, and if you're allowed to count fictional characters, odysseus->odyssey

edit: actually, democritus/democracy don't have a direct connection. never mind
