 | | The struggle among the city's parties, however, restarted after his death and ended with the rise of another tyrant, Agathocles, who seized the power with a coup in 317 BC. | | | The Syracusans enlisted the aid of a general from Sparta, Athens' foe in the war, to defeat the Athenians, destroy their ships, and leave them to starve on the island (see Sicilian Expedition). | | | Frederick's death brought a period of unrets and feudal anarchy. |

| | The project of Garibaldi was a united republican Italy, but for the Sicilians it was probably more important that he offered a possibility to get rid of the Bourbon regime. | | | The landowners and the mafia wanted to create a platform for a future compromise with the new, unknown government, and the USA a possibility to detach Sicily from Italy if the communists should gain control of the Italian state after liberation. | | | The capital of the Two Sicilies was Naples, and this together with the centralising policies of the Bourbons caused widespread dissatisfaction in the Sicilian elite that felt its power had diminished compared to the time of Spanish domination. |

| | It would not be overzealous to say that the history of Hellenistic Sicily is largely the history of Syracuse. | | | Some of the ancient sights to see in Syracuse are located in Ortigia (Ortegia), which is the medieval city's historic center. | | | Though it was an important city from the time of its foundation, Syracuse flourished unhindered after Hieron's victory (with the help of the Agrigentans) over the Carthaginians at Himera, near present-day Termini Imerese, in 480 BC, and soon became the most important Greek city in Sicily, both economically and politically. |
