Hermocrates – Sicily, Syracusan general during the Athenians' Sicilian Expedition in the midst of the Peloponnesian War.
Έρμοκράτης, 400-luku eaa.) oli Syrakusan armeijan kenraalina ateenalaisten Sisilian sotaretken aikana.
The Syracusans were led by the tyrant Dionysius I. Dionysius took the city, and sold its inhabitants into slavery.
Syrakusan tyranni Dionysios I valtasi Rhegiumin ja myi sen asukkaat orjiksi.
The Syracusan general Hermocrates suggested that they ask for help from other Sicilian cities, and from Carthage.
Syrakusalainen sotapäällikkö Hermokrates ehdotti, että Syrakusa pyytäisi apua muilta Sisilian kaupungeilta Ateenaa vastaan.
The Selinuntines are next mentioned in 466 BCE, co-operating with the other cities of Sicily to help the Syracusans to expel Thrasybulus.
Seuraavan kerran Selinus mainitaan antiikin lähteissä vuonna 466 eaa., kun se osallistui saaren muiden vapaiden kaupunkien kanssa Syrakusan tyrannin Thrasybuloksen syrjäyttämiseen.
The Athenian circumvallation, known as "the Circle", was meant to blockade Syracuse from the rest of the island, while the Syracusans built a number of counter-walls from the city to their various forts.
Tällöin uuden tyrannin Thrasybuloksen vallankäyttö sai syrakusalaiset kapinoimaan, ja kapina-aalto levisi saaren kaikkiin kreikkalaiskaupunkeihin, jotka yhdistivät voimansa Syrakusaa vastaan.
Since the Critias recounted the story of the ideal state in ancient Athens of nine thousand years ago – and why it was able to repel the invasion by the imperialist naval power Atlantis – by referring to prehistoric accounts via Solon and the Egyptians, it might have been Hermocrates' task to tell how the imperialist naval power, into which Athens of Plato's lifetime had turned, had suffered a bitter defeat in the Sicilian expedition against Syracuse and eventually in the Peloponnesian War against Sparta – since he was a Syracusan strategos during the time of the Sicilian expedition.
Koska Kritias kertoo niissä kertomuksen siitä, kuinka muinainen yhdeksäntuhannen vuoden takainen Ateena kykeni voittamaan imperialistisen merivallan Atlantiksen, Hermokrateen tehtävänä olisi saattanut olla kertoa, kuinka Platonin oman ajan imperialistinen merivalta Ateena tuli kokemaan katkeran tappion Sisilian sotaretkellä Syrakusaa vastaan ja lopulta peloponnesolaissodassa Spartaa vastaan.
