| | From the picturesque |
 | | Glarces and Gelon were the two names on every tongue, although it was more than doubtful as, to what positions the other three men would eventually claim. | | | Even Vedrona, unable to restrain herself, waved her scarf and shouted with the rest. | | | Gelon was first away as the signal fell, but Glarces pressed him hard, and as the first lap was reached they ran together a good pace in front of the third man, who left his followers still more and more behind; but he vainly tried to reach the two before him. |

| | Syracuse -> History on Encyclopedia.com 2002 |
| | Its democratic government was suppressed by Gelon, tyrant of Gela, who took possession of the city in 485 BC Under his rule, marked by a great victory (480 BC) over Carthage at Himera, Syracuse took the lead among the Greek cities of Sicily. | | | Gelon's successor, Hiero I, made it one of the great centers of Greek culture; the poet Pindar and the dramatist Aeschylus lived at his court. | | | Soon after Hiero's death a democracy was again established; it lasted from 466 BC to 406 BC During this period Syracuse extended its control over E Sicily and defeated an Athenian expedition (begun in 415 BC by Alcibiades) in a great land and sea battle (414 BC). |

| | Yet, Gelon was an odd tyrant, because he collaborated with the rich people in his territorial state - tyrants usually found their supporters among the urban poor. | | | One of the aims of the resettlement of people was to divide the opposition against the tyranny of Gelon and Hiero, but in the end, the people united and demanded their share in the political process. | | | Theron, however, held out and Gelon was able to defeat the Carthaginians decisively. |

| | Alexicrates was to be secretly instructed to appear ready to enter into the conspiracy when he should be called upon, and thus, as Pyrrhus expected, the testimony of two witnesses would be obtained to Gelon's guilt. | | | Gelon, perceiving this, invited Myrtilus to sup with him. | | | His office as cup-bearer would enable him, Gelon said, to execute such a design without difficulty or danger, and, by doing it, he would so commend himself to the regard of Neoptolemus, that he might rely on the most ample and abundant rewards. |

| | The battle of Himera |
| | In his account, he explains why the Greeks did not receive support from the far west, from Sicily: the tyrant of Syracuse, Gelon, had been occupied with another war, against Carthage. | | | The complex first section can be summarized as follows: Gelon and his ally Theron of Acragas had been at war with Terillus of Himera and Anaxilaus of Rhegium; the latter had invited the Carthaginians. | | | Hamilcar then having disappeared, whether it was in such a manner as this, as it is reported by the Phoenicians, or in some other way, the Carthaginians both offer sacrifices to him now, and also they made memorials of him then in all the cities of their colonies, and the greatest in Carthage itself.[3] |

| | Apart from the possibility that the Greeks never sent any envoys to Gelon,[[1]] there is also the possibility that Gelon made unacceptable demands deliberately, because he wanted to remain in Sicily to deal with the anticipated invasion by the Carthaginians. | | | For instance, in connection with Gelon's claim, "the case of the Athenian is especially clear, because he yields the hegemony to Sparta, which has fewer ships than Athens, but not to Gelon, who has the most of all" (8). | | | In Herodotus, hegemonia is seen as being essentially synonymous with "international command" in the war against Xerxes (i.e., it is limited to 480 BC) and quarrelling amongst the Greeks over who should have it. |

| | The power of the gamoroi in Syracuse was subsequently ended by a democratic revolution, and in exile the gamoroi supported Hippocrates' successor, Gelon, who captured Syracuse and transferred his government there. | | | The landowners were expelled, but were conducted back into the city by Gelon, tyrant of Gela, who in this manner became lord also of Syracuse. | | | Under a democratic constitution the Syracusans survived wars against the neighbouring city of Acragas and the Siculi, although they had to abandon the territorial empire that Gelon had acquired. |
