Diodorus of Sicily and Oppian state that this city of Neapolis was founded by Heracles.Tzetzes, on the Alexandra of
Lycophron, v. 717.
Now that we have described at sufficient length the events in Europe, we shall shift our narrative to the affairs of another
people. The Carthaginians, we recall,Cp. chap. 1.
had agreed with the Persians to subdue the Greeks of Sicily at the same time and had made preparations on a large scale of such
materials as would be useful in carrying on a war. And when they had made everything ready,
they chose for general Hamilcar, having selected him as the man who was held by them ntion many cargo ships for carrying supplies, numbering more than three thousand. Now
as he was crossing the Libyan sea he encountered a storm and lost the vessels which were
carrying the horses and chariots. And when he came to port in Sicily in the harbour of PanormusPalermo. he remarked that he had finished the war; for he had been afraid
that the sea would rescue the Siceliotes from the perils of the conflict. He took three days to rest his soldiers and to repair the damage wh
Because
of this achievement many historians compare this battle with the one which the Greeks fought at
Plataea and the stratagem of Gelon with the
ingenious schemes of Themistocles, and the first place they assign, since such exceptional
merit was shown by both men, some to the one and some to the other. And the reason is that, when the people of Greece on the one hand and those of Sicily on the other were struck with dismay before the conflict at the multitude
of the barbarian armies, it was the prior victory of the Sicilian Greeks which gave courage to
the people of Greece when they learned of Gelon's
victory; and as for the men in both affairs who held the supreme command, we know that in the
case of the Persians the king escaped with his life and many myriads together with him, whereas
in the case of the Carthaginians not only did the general perish but also everyone who
participated in the war was slain, and, as the saying is, no
478 B.C.When
Timosthenes was archon at Athens, in Rome Caeso
Fabius and Lucius Aemilius Mamercus succeeded to the consulship. During this year throughout
Sicily an almost complete peace pervaded the island,
the Carthaginians having finally been humbled, and Gelon had established a beneficent rule over
the Sicilian Greeks and was providing their cities with a high degree of orderly government and
an abundance of every necessity of life. And since the
Syracusans had by law put an end to costly funerals and done away with the expense which
customarily had been incurred for the dead, and there had been specified in the law even the
altogether inexpensive obsequies, King Gelon, desiring to foster and maintain the people's
interest in all matters, kept the law regarding burials intact in his own case; for when he fell ill and had given up hope of life, he handed over the
kingship to Hieron, his eldest brother, and respecting his own bur
