The Story of Damon and Pythias is a classic tale of friendship, loyalty, and sacrifice. Written by Rev. S. L. Harris, this book tells the story of two friends, Damon and Pythias, who live in ancient Greece. When Pythias is falsely accused of plotting against the tyrant Dionysius, he is sentenced to death. Damon, determined to save his friend, offers to take Pythias' place in prison while Pythias goes to settle his affairs. Dionysius agrees to this arrangement, but doubts that Pythias will return. However, Pythias does return just in time to take Damon's place and be executed. Moved by their devotion to each other, Dionysius pardons Pythias and the two friends are reunited.
