He asks Dionysius for a year to get his affairs in order and then will return to be executed. As a guarantee for his return his friend Damon agrees to stay in his place as a hostage. If Pythius does not return his friend Damon will be executed in his place. At the last hour Pythius returns to save his friend. King Dionysius is so impressed by this show of brotherly love that he sets both men free"--Publisher marketing.
