- The robbers tie Pythias to a tree.
This legend is about two friends who were very loyal to each other. Wicked King Dionysius dreamt that Pythias killed him and resolved to actually eliminate him.
Pythias had a dying wish to bid his family farewell and Damon replaced him in prison. Time was of the essence as he had to return quickly so that the King will not kill Damon.
