Description

Professor Sanders' comprehensive examination of Dionysius I reassesses one of fourth-century BC Greece's most influential rulers, challenging the stereotype of tyrannical cruelty that dominates historical accounts. This full-length study, the first major English-language work on the subject, explores the contradiction between Dionysius I's reputation for arrogance and intransigence and ancient testimony describing a ruler committed to establishing a just regime. The work contextualises how Plato himself sought out Dionysius I to help realise the ideal Republic, revealing a more nuanced understanding of Syracuse's powerful leader. By examining primary sources critically, Sanders demonstrates that the conventional hostile portrait of Dionysius I requires substantial revision. This Routledge Revivals edition makes the essential scholarship accessible to contemporary readers interested in ancient Greek political history, tyranny as a governing system, and the complex relationship between power, justice and reputation in the classical world.
