Curiosidades
The legend of Damon and Pythias can be sourced to the writings of philosopher Aristoxenus (4th century BC), who wrote extensively about the Pythagoreans, followers of Pythagoras' philosophy. The legend has the two as two Pythagoreans in Sicily. When Pythias was accused of plotting against Dionysius I, he was sentenced to death. Accepting his sentence, Pythias asked to be allowed to return home one last time, to settle his affairs and bid his family farewell. Dionysius believed this was simply an excuse and that the man wanted to escape. However, when Damon offered to take Pythias' place in captivity, Dionysius agreed to set the prisoner free. When Pythias failed to return, Dionysius prepared to execute Damon. Then Pythias returned and offered his life instead. Dionysius was so pleased and astonished with their friendship that he pardoned both. The tale attested to the supposed loyalty of Pythagoreans to each other and their moral strength in a time of crisis.

A Tale Of Two Friends Told At A Snail's Pace

Face the punishment of death or a friend that is a thief and liar (willing to lie and pretend to be a hostage). Not much of a choice, the only other choice I can think of would be suicide or to get the heck out of there fast, leave the country quickly and forget both. lol.

This is the story of "all men are brothers", treat each other right. Damon and Pythias of Greek mythology - the story of morality.

It's okay but moves at a snail's pace. I guess because there wasn't quite enough material for a typical full length film of the time era so they drug out the original story.
