Philistus was born in Syracuse around the time the Peloponnesian War began. He was a faithful supporter of the elder Dionysius, and commander of the citadel. Cicero who had a high opinion of his work, called him the miniature Thucydides (''pusillus Thucydides'').〔Eric William Marsden: ''Greek and Roman Artillery: Historical Development'', The Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1969; ISBN 978-0-19-814268-3, p.48f.〕 He was admitted by the Alexandrian critics into the canon of historiographers, and his work was highly valued by Alexander the Great. Philistus was quite wealthy. Before his rise to power, Dionysius criticized the generals of Syracuse on their poor performance against the Carthaginians. When the assembly fined Dionysius for his seditious language, Philistus stepped in to pay Dionysius' fines, with the promise to continue paying for them so long as the council saw fit to issue them. It was through Philistus' support that Dionysius was able to rise to power and control Syracuse. In 386 BC, Philistus married the daughter of Leptines, who was Dionysius' brother. Because Dionysius had not been consulted, he feared that his brother and Philistus would form an alliance against him. So Dionysius exiled both from Syracuse. He settled at Thurii, but afterwards moved to Adria, where he remained until the death of Dionysius in 367 BC. During his stay at Adria, Philistus occupied himself with the composition of his history of Sicily in eleven books. The first part comprised the history of the island from the earliest times to the capture of Agrigentum by the Carthaginians (406 BC); the second, the history of the elder and the younger Dionysius (down to 363 BC). From this point the work was carried on by Athanas. Philistus was then recalled by the younger Dionysius, whom he persuaded to dismiss Plato and Dion.〔Plutarch: ''Life of Dion'', ch. 11-16.〕 When Dion set sail from Zacynthus with the object of liberating Syracuse in 356 BC, Philistus was entrusted by Dionysius II with the command of the fleet. After a lengthy sea battle, his ship was surrounded. Philistus took his own life to avoid retribution from his countrymen. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Philistus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
