My Greek myth was the story of Damon and Pythias. In our skit I played a harpy which is what we chose to be one of the 4 obstacles that Pythias had to overcome. Damon and Pythias are two extremely loyal friends. In the town that they live there is a tyrant named Dionysius. Dionysius accused Pythias of plotting to kill him and sentenced Pythias to death. Pythias accepted this sentence, however, he requested that he return home one last time in order to settle his affairs. In order to leave Pythias left Damon as Dionysius' hostage. If Pythias did not return in time for his execution Damon would be killed in his place. On his way back Pythias encounters obstacles but he overcomes them and arrives at the last minute to save Damon. After seeing this Dionysius was so moved by their loyalty that he freed both of them and they became friends. The moral of this story is that loyalty and trust are what make a good friendship and it can bring about good results. The life mystery about trust and loyalty is that it is something where we must lay ourselves on the line for our friends. For example Damon put his life on the line for Pythias' sake. To the Greeks the values of friendship, trust, and loyalty are extremely important because it deals with the relationship that they have with other humans. In their relationship with the gods it is one sided so this myth touches on the aspect of human relationships.
