Damon and Pythias (1914 film)

Damon and Pythias is a 1914 American silent epic film directed by Otis Turner and starring William Worthington, Herbert Rawlinson, and Cleo Madison.

[1][2] It is based on the Greek legend of Damon and Pythias set during the reign of Dionysius I of Syracuse.

For much of the opening reel the cast are introduced, appearing in their modern dress rather than historical costumes.

[3] An earlier short film adaptation of the legend was produced in 1908, also directed by Otis Turner.

[2] Complete prints of Damon and Pythias are held by the Library of Congress and the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, New York.
