  • Summary

  • The Story of Damon & Pythias is a Greek Legend about the power of true friendship. It is set in the Greek Island of Sicily. Versions of the tale differ, but the best known of these variants is that told by Cicero in De Officiis. When one of the two friends is condemned to death by Dionysius I, tyrant of Syracuse, he asks to be granted time to put his affairs in order. Dionysius refuses until the other of the two offers to die in his stead if he doesn’t return at the appointed time. When the condemned man returns at the appointed time, Dionysius is so moved by their friendship that he releases both.
