Answer:
He is legendary for his heroic friendship and loyalty.
Explanation:
A person is considered a legend if he is well-known or recognised or famous for a particular ideal.
Damon's character is legendary for his self-sacrificing loyalty and friendship to his longtime closest friend Pythias even to the point of death. He stood as surety and exchanged places with his friend who was convicted and sentenced for a crime against the ruler of their city - Dionysius.
Damon agreed to replace Pythias in prison, whilst his friend goes to put his house in order. His legendary qualities were brought for the fore when he agreed to be put to death should his friend fail to return within a specified time.
