In Sicily a war broke out between the Syracusans and Acragantini for the following
reasons. The Syracusans had overcome Ducetius, the ruler of the Siceli, cleared him of all
charges when he became a suppliant, and specified that he should make his home in the city of
the Corinthians.Cp. Book 11.92.
But after Du greement, and on the plea that the
gods had given him an oracular reply that he should found a city on the Fair ShoreThe northern shore. (Cale Acte) of
Sicily, he sailed to the island with a number of
colonists; some Siceli were also included, among whom was Archonides, the ruler of Herbita. He,
then, was busi use they were accusing them of letting Ducetius, who was their common
enemy, go free without consulting them, declared war upon the Syracusans. The cities of Sicily were
divided, some of them taking the field with the Acragantini and others with the Syracusans, and
so large armaments were mustered on both sides. Gre
These,
then, were the events in Sicily. And in Italy the city of Thurii came to be founded,In 444 B.C., two years later than by Diodorus' chronology. for the
following reasons. When in former times the Greeks had founded Sybaris in Italy, the city had enjoyed a
rapid growth because of the fertility of the land. For lying
as the city did between two rivers, the Crathis and the Sybaris, from which it derived its name, its inhabitants, who tilled an extensive
and fruitful countryside, came to possess great riches. And since they kept granting
citizenship to many aliens, they increased to such an extent that they were considered to be
far the first among the inhabitants of Italy; indeed
they so excelled in population that the city possessed three hundred thousand
citizens.Now there arose among the Sybarites a leader of the
people named Telys,In 511
B.C. who brought charges against the most influential men and persuaded the Sybarites t
440 B.C.When
Myrichides was archon in Athens, the Romans elected
as consuls Lucius Julius and Marcus Geganius, and the Eleians celebrated the Eighty-fifth
Olympiad, that in which Crison of Himera won the "stadion" for the second time.For the third time; cp. chaps. 5 and 23. In Sicily, in this year, Ducetius, the former leader of the cities
of the Siceli, founded the native city of the Calactians,The inhabitants of Cale Acte; cp. chap. 8.2 above. and when he had established many
colonists there, he laid claim to the leadership of the Siceli, but his attempt was cut short
by illness and his life was ended. The Syracusans had made
subject to them all the cities of the Siceli with the exception of Trinacie, as it is called,
and against it they decided to send an army; for they were deeply apprehensive lest the
Trinacians should make a bid for the leadership of the Siceli, who were their kinsmen. There
were many great men in this city, since
439 B.C.When Glaucides was archon in Athens, the Romans elected as consuls Titus Quinctius and Agrippa Furius. During
this year the Syracusans, because of the successes we have described, built one hundred
triremes and doubled the number of their cavalry; they also developed their infantry forces and
made financial preparations by laying heavier tributes upon the Siceli who were now subject to
them. This they were doing with the intention of subduing all Sicily little by little. While these events were taking place it came about in Greece that the Corinthian War,The correct
date is 435 B.C. as it is called, began for the following
causes. Civil strife broke out among the Epidamnians who dwell upon the Adriatic Sea and are colonists of the Cercyraeans and
Corinthians.The Epidamnians were in fact colonists of
Cercyra, which was a colony of Corinth.
The successful group sent into exile large numbers of their opponents, but the exiles gathere
