This book studies Agathokles of Syracuse, who ruled Sicily in the period after Alexander the Great and was an important player in the Mediterranean world at a key moment in its history. It places him in the context of both the earlier history of Sicily, and the developments in the eastern Mediterranean that mark the start of the Hellenistic era.
