Years: 483BCE - 483BCE
Selinus, a Doric city whose territory borders Theron's domain, also becomes a Carthaginian ally—perhaps the fear of Theron and the destruction of Megara (mother city of Selinus) by Gelo, had played a part in this decision.
Thus, three power blocks are delicately balanced in Sicily by 483 BCE—Ionians dominating the north, Carthage the west, Dorians the east and south.
The Sicels and Sicans in the interior remain passive, and if not directly under Greek rule, do not hinder the movements of their forces.
The Elymians join the Carthaginian alliance.
