Part A How is Dionysius affected by his interaction with Damon and Pythias? He is changed by their friendship and becomes merciful. Their friendship makes him so angry he decides to execute both of them. Dionysius offers to give up his crown and make Damon and Pythias co-rulers. Damon and Pythias inspire the crowds and they decide to overthrow Dionysius. Part B Which evidence from the text best supports the answer in Part A? Dionysius makes fun of Damon’s willingness to take Pythias’s place, and that Damon will die for his foolishness and Pythias will die because he spoke out against Dionysius. Dionysius spares their lives and asks to be friends with Damon and Pythias. Giant crowds observe Damon’s offer to take Pythias’s place and Pythias’s efforts to save his friend, and all are inspired by what they see. Dionysius says he never imagined a friendship like this was possible and Damon and Pythias are far better men and leaders than he is.
