Explanation:

Damon and Pythias is a story about the sacrifices that friends do for one another.

Dionysius sentenced Pythias to death. He told Dionysius that he wanted to see his parents who lived faraway before he died. Dionysius believed that he wanted to trick him and runaway but his friend Damon said that he should be put in prison in his place and allowed to see his parents and that if he doesn't return on the agreed date of his execution that he should be killed instead.

Pythias never showed up before the execution day but shows up when Damon was about to be executed. When Pythias didn't show up, Damon still believed in him and believer even if he never showed up, it wasn't his fault.
