|wketx=The story of [[Damon]] (/ˈdeɪmən/; Greek: [[Δάμων]], gen. Δάμωνος) and [[Pythias]] (/ˈpɪθiəs/; [[Πυθίας]] or [[Φιντίας]]; or [[Phintias]], /ˈfɪntiəs/) is a legend in Greek historic writings illustrating the Pythagorean ideal of friendship. Pythias is accused of and charged with plotting against the tyrannical Dionysius I of Syracuse. Pythias requests of Dionysius to be allowed to settle his affairs. Dionysius agrees, on the condition that Pythias' friend, Damon, be held hostage and, should Pythias not return, be executed in his stead. When Pythias returns, Dionysius, amazed by the love and trust in their friendship, frees them both. | |||
