Author Description

Excerpt from A History of Greece, Vol. 11 IN my preceding volume, I have described the first eleven years of the reign of Dionysius called the Elder, as despot at Syracuse, down to his first great War against the Carthaginians; which war ended by a sudden turn of fortune in his favour, at a time when he was hard pressed and actually be sieged. The victorious Carthaginian army before Syracuse was utterly ruined by a terrible pesti lence, followed by ignominious treason on the part of its commander Imilkon.
