    History of the Peloponnesian WarClassical · Greek

    The people of Syracuse, leading power of the Dorian cities of Sicily, at war with the Leontines.

    These islands lie opposite the coasts of the Sicels and Messanians, and were in alliance with the Syracusans.
    chapter 3
    So the allies of the Leontines sent to Athens, both on the ground of their former confederacy with them and because they were Ionians, and urged the Athenians to send them a fleet, for they were excluded by the Syracusans from the use both of land and sea.
    chapter 3
    the Syracusans having, with the exception of Camarina, all the Dorian cities in alliance with them—for indeed these had joined the Lacedaemonian confederacy at the commencement of the war, though they had not taken any part in it with them—while the Leontines had the Chalcidian cities, and Camarina.
    chapter 3

    HellenicaClassical · Greek

    And while the ship-building was going on, the Syracusans helped the Antandrians to finish a portion of their wall, and in the garrison-duty made themselves most popular.

    Accordingly they called together their soldiers and, through Hermocrates as spokesman, lamented their misfortune in being unjustly and illegally banished, all without exception.

    Tusculan DisputationsHellenistic · Latin

    Citizens of Syracuse who had forgotten the location of Archimedes' tomb

    And I straightway said to the Syracusans — there were leading men with me — that I thought that was the very thing I was seeking.
    book 5
    Whose tomb, unknown to the Syracusans — when they denied that it existed at all — I, as quaestor, tracked out, fenced about on every side and clothed with brambles and thickets.
    book 5

    Against LeptinesClassical · Greek

    People of Syracuse used as an example of unforeseen decline from power and democracy.

    For the Lacedaemonians never dreamed that they would be brought to their present straits, and perhaps even the Syracusans, once a democracy, who exacted tribute from the Carthaginians and ruled all their neighbors and beat at us at sea, little thought they would fall under the tyranny of a single clerk, if report be true.

    OrationsImperial · Greek

    they voted, then, to break up the statues of the tyrants — and many of these were among them made of bronze — having made a judgment among them, who of them was worthy to be melted down and who not;

    The HistoriesClassical · Greek

    Citizens of Syracuse, whose city Gelon captures, expands, and repopulates through conquest and resettlement.

    He then took possession of that city also, for the Syracusan common people surrendered themselves and it to Gelon at his coming.
    chapter 7
    The reason for his treating the people of both places in this way was that he held the common people to be exceedingly disagreeable to live with.
    chapter 7

    ArchidamusClassical · Greek

    PythianClassical · Greek

    The citizens of Syracuse, whose leader (Hieron) won the decisive victory over the Carthaginians.

    Such were their sufferings, when they were conquered by the leader of the Syracusans—a fate which flung their young men from their swift ships into the sea, delivering Hellas from grievous bondage.
