Description

Explore a new perspective on one of the most influential figures of fourth-century BC Greece with this scholarly study from Routledge. Professor Sanders provides the first English-language full-length analysis of Dionysius I, the ruler of Syracuse. While historical accounts often label him a tyrant defined by cruelty and arrogance, this book offers a necessary reassessment of his leadership. This work examines the complex reality of a ruler who, according to ancient testimony, sought to establish a just regime. It investigates the historical connection between Dionysius I and Plato, exploring how this leader served as a foundation for the ideal Republic. By looking past the traditional stereotypes, Sanders provides a deep look at the political landscape of ancient Greece and the true nature of Syracusan power. This Routledge Revival is an essential resource for students and readers interested in ancient history and the study of Greek civilization.
