Damon and Pythias, also known as Damon and Phintias, are Greek legendary friends and they say they will sacrifice their will for their friends.

The versions of these stories are different, but the most famous is that these variants are said by Cicero at De Officiis ("ethical duty"). When one of the two friends was sentenced to death by Syracuse tyrant Dionysius I, he sought time to organize his work. Dionysius refused the other of the two proposals until he replaces death at the time he did not come back. When the sentenced man returned to the agreed time, Dionysius was moved by their friendship and he released both

In ancient Greek myths, Damon and Pythias were best friends and they lived in a city led by a bully named Dionysius, so he decided to kill Pythias. Damon agreed to be a prisoner of Dionysius, and he will be killed if Pythias does not come back after taking care of his family. Even though Dionysius thinks he will not, Pythias came back so Dionysius wants to keep them alive and want to be their friends.

In the history of Greece, Damon and Pythias (or Phintias; Greek: Δάμων (gen .: Δάμωνος), Πυθίας, Φιντίας) is a legend that shows the ideal of Pythagoras friendship. Pythias was accused and indicted against tyranny Dionysius I against Syracuse. Pythias asked Dionysius to allow the resolution on condition that his friend Damon was taken hostage and that he replaces Pythias for him instead of returning. After all, Pythias came back and the wonderful Dionysius was impressed with the love and trust of their friendship.

According to the story of Greece, Damon and Pythias grew up on Sicily and they are always best friends. One day, when they visited Syracuse, Pythias said something about King Syracuse, and the king was very angry. The King arrested Pythias. And that person was trying to kill Pythias (PIH - thee - ahs). Pythias said: "Before I am killed, can not I have my family prepare what happened to my family?" But the king said, "Oh, of course you go back Meng said, "Meng said:" I will stay with you, Pythias will go home and say good-bye, if you do not come back, you can kill me. "The king does not believe anyone trusts their friends. He thought it was stupid. But he agreed to let Pythias leave. He should have returned within a month. If he does not come back at the end of the month, the kill will kill Damon.
