Years: 357BCE - 346BCE
Dionysius' son Dionysius the Younger sees a decade of peace before his autocracy is challenged by his exiled uncle, Dion, who in 357 assembles a force of fifteen hundred mercenaries at Zacynthus and sails to Sicily, where, in a brief, bloody civil war, he drives Dionysius from his kingdom and is received with demonstrations of joy.
His deposed kinsman flees to Locri.
After a short period of rule in Syracuse, Dion is again banished and again recalled.
After an Athenian assassinates him in 354, a period of civil war follows.
