This retelling of the classic Greek legend of Damon and Pythias highlights themes of loyalty, friendship, and sacrifice. Set in ancient Syracuse, the story follows the deep bond between two friends as they face life-threatening trials. When Pythias is condemned to death, Damon offers himself as a hostage, trusting in his friend's return. Terhune's version captures the moral integrity and unwavering trust that make this tale timeless.
Albert Payson Terhune (1872-1942) was an American author, breeder of collies, and journalist, best known for his novels relating the adventures of his beloved collies. The Story of Damon and Pythias is the novelization of a Universal silent film, generously illustrat4ed with stills from the movie.
