When I introduce myself

People act like they have never heard the name Damon.  So I've started a list of famous people that share my name.

Damon and Pythias 

somebody named AlexanderThe name Damon comes from the Greek legend of Damon and Pythias. They were two very close friends. Pythias had a little trouble with the law and was condemned to death by Dionysius I.

Damon offered to be held hostage while Pythias went to "settle his affairs and bid his family farewell." Dionysius agreed thinking he would never see Pythias again.

Damon was about to be executed when Pythias returned to receive the sentence. Dionysius was so impressed by their loyalty that he pardoned them both.
