History of the Peloponnesian War
Italian city allied with the Leontines, serving as the Athenians' operational base in the west.
Having established themselves therefore at Rhegium in Italy, they began the operations of the war in concert with their allies.
During the same winter the Athenians in Sicily and the Rhegians made an expedition with thirty ships against the islands of Aeolus;
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.
The Histories
Sicilian city ruled by Anaxilaus and later administered by his servant Micythus.
Micythus was a servant of Anaxilaus and had been left in charge of Rhegium;
Terillus had induced him to do this partly through the prerogative of personal friendship, but mainly through the efforts of Anaxilaus son of Cretines, tyrant of Rhegium.
