 IK was a son of Gelo, and brother of Hiero the Klder, 

 who ruled over Syracuse till the year H.C. 4(J<;. Hiero 

 was succeeded by his brother Thrasybulus. who was a 

 bloodthirsty tyrant, and CM the people still more 



than Hiero: great numbers of eiti/cns were put to death 

 and others sent into exile, and their property tilled the pri- 

 vate cotters of the tyrant. In order to protect In; 

 against the Mizens, he got together a large 



force of mercenaries, and relying on tins new support, he 

 carried his reckless cruelties so far. that at !a-1 the !

 and also engaged new mercenaries. With this :

interior of Sicily, soliciting their aid. The request was 

 readily complied with, and they soon had an army and a 

 fleet at their disposal. Thrasylmlus attacked them both 

 by sea and land, but his fleet was compelled to sul 

 to the island alter the los- of .several triremes, and his
