The account of the Sicilian expedition and siege of Syra- cuse has been given in Chapter XV. After her deliverance, Syracuse became very prosperous. DionysiuB I., the elder, was ruler from 405-367. He was a man of great ability, and one of the most powerful princes of his time. He invited Plato to his court, but was offended by his lectures, and ordered him to depart. He waged war for many years with Carthage, and finally so far succeeded that she never again gave any trouble to Eastern Sicily.... He was a cruel tyrant, but the city under him grew rapidly in size and grandeur. Here was to be seen the glory of western Hellas. Digitized by VjOOQIC 132 ANCIENT GREECE. DionysiuB II., the younger (367-343), was an easy, good- natured man, far inferior in talent to his father. In 35 7 he was expelled from the city, but returned nine years later. The weary Syracusans finally applied to their mother city, Corinth, for help. Timoleon was sent out with an army (344), and deposed Dionysius, who went to Corinth, where he is said to have taught school.
