| Greek statesman, and general of Corinth. He overthrew the tyranny of his brother Timophanes, and retired from public life; but when Dionysius the Younger and others tried to establish themselves in Syracuse, he was prevailed upon to return. He manoeuvred Dionysius into abdication and fought the Carthaginians, who were supporting the other tyrants, defeating them at the Crimessus in 341. |
