Damon is a close friend of Pythias, who is sentenced to death by the tyrant Dionysius. Damon offers to take Pythias' place in prison, allowing Pythias to go home and settle his affairs before his execution. Pythias is allowed to return to Syracuse to arrange his affairs, on the condition that if he does not return, Damon will be put to death in his place.
Initially, Damon is portrayed as a loyal and selfless friend, willing to sacrifice his own life to save that of his friend. However, as the deadline for Pythias' return approaches and Pythias has yet to come back, Damon begins to have doubts and fears. He starts to question whether Pythias will return and whether he has made the right decision in taking his place. Dionysius, the tyrant, also try to tempt Damon with power, wealth, and status if he would not return to prison.
The conflict that Damon faces in the myth is the struggle between his loyalty to his friend and his own self-preservation. He must weigh the potential loss of his own life against the value of his friendship with Pythias. In the end, Pythias does return, and the tyrant is convinced of their friendship and spares their lives, Damon's trust and loyalty shown to his friend is rewarded.
It is interesting to note that the story of Damon and Pythias is often used as a representation of the Greek concept of Philia (friendship) which was considered a highly valued virtue in ancient Greece.

Why aren't authors always as explicit as possible in stating their meaning or purpose? Why do you think they often leave evidence to be inferred?
Answer:
Explanation:
Understanding the author's purpose helps readers understand what a text is about. It guides us in taking a stance as readers.
An author's purpose is his reason for or intent in writing. An author's purpose may be to amuse the reader, to persuade the reader, to inform the reader, or to satirize a condition.
Answer: Authors often leave interpretations to the readers. They don't directly mention or state the themes or purposes in their stories so that their audience can interpret the story to how they perceive it. While it isn't stated, they embed the meaning through their storyline and through the characters they create.
Explanation:
Okay so this is kind of a language question, too. So, if I'm writing a story {this is for a class btw and my teacher knows} in two different languages {korean/english} and i want to add a couple of korean words in the dialogue, would i write the pronunciation or the korean symbols?
~~ also the story I'm writing {if anyone cares} is a taekook fanfic and so I want it to be as good as it can be... My teacher is a fan of bts and also is a taekook shipper so she agreed to let me write a fanfic for my finals ~~
Well it really depends on how much Korean you know personally i have watched people who are Korean, This helped me with some of the words, as they speak the language and you pay closer attention to what they say how they say it etc. Though it takes longer to catch up on as I can not just make a whole on sentence with that alone, so I would say learn some words then use those into that for a sentence maybe.
