Person
Dionysius II of Syracuse
Dionysius II of Syracuse, called the Younger, succeeded his father Dionysius I as tyrant of Syracuse in 367 BCE. Driven out by his kinsman Dion in 357, he took refuge in Locri Epizephyrii, his mother's city, and ruled it harshly until about 346, when he regained Syracuse. Timoleon expelled him again in 344, and he ended his life in exile at Corinth.
