Knights of Pythias, c. 1930s The Knights of Pythias is a fraternal organization and secret society founded in Washington, DC, on 19 February 1864. The Knights of Pythias was the first fraternal organization to receive a charter under an act of the United States Congress. It was founded by Justus H. Rathbone, who had been inspired by a play by the Irish poet John Banim about the legend of Damon and Pythias. This legend illustrates the ideals of loyalty, honor, and friendship that are the center of the order. The Knights of Pythias are still active with 2,000 lodges and 200,000 members worldwide.
