In Classical lore, Damon and Pythias were fiends ready to sacrifice their lives for each other in defiance of a tyrant, and their names became bywords for faithful friendship. High-minded loyalties, however, did not discourage Damon, in the course of the 18th century, from consorting with Celia, Delia, Florella, Favella, Corinna, and Phyllis, to name just a few of his paramours.

This Damon, however, seems to have been a most specific figure, Sir Charles Wogan (1698?-1754), also known as the Chevalier Wogan. Wogan was among those taken at the Battle of Preston during the 1715 Jacobite uprising and imprisoned in Newgate.
On the midnight before his trial for treason was to have been held in May 1716, Wogan was one of seven prisoners to escape from Newgate—a flight indeed. A sum of 500 pounds was offered for his capture, but Wogan made his way to France, where he continued to serve the exiled Stuart Prince James.
His afterlife included further escapades, including gallant aid to King Jan Sobieski’s granddaughter Clementina and correspondence with Jonathan Swift
