in the texts
Against Alcibiades
Greek colony in Italy where allies embittered by Alcibiades's treatment of the subject-states are said to be settling as exiles.
Indeed, because of his behaviour, many are leaving their homes as exiles and going off to settle at Thurii;
Orations
Italian Greek city, once powerful, now desolate.
And Croton and Thurii and Metapontum and Tarentum, having flourished to so great a height and once had so great power, of what city are they not now more desolate?
Euthydemus
Greek colony in southern Italy where the brothers settled before being exiled and wandering the region.
they went out as colonists to Thurii, but have been exiled thence and have spent a good many years now in various parts of this country.
Stranger of Thurii, were it not rather a rude thing to say, I should tell you, ill betide your design of speaking so falsely of me and my friends as to make out—what to me is almost too profane even to repeat—that I could wish this boy to be dead and gone!
History of the Peloponnesian War
Italian city where Alcibiades and his fellow accused leave the Salaminia and disappear rather than return to Athens.
The crew of the Salaminia for some time made search for Alcibiades and his companions, but when they were no where to be found, they departed on their voyage back.
But when they had reached Thurii, they followed it no further, but left the vessel and concealed themselves, being afraid of going home to trial with such a prejudice existing against them.
Hellenica
The city of which Dorieus becomes a citizen after his earlier exile from Athens and Rhodes.
and the men who were thus taken were all imprisoned by the Athenians, but their commander, Dorieus, a Rhodian by birth, but some time before exiled from both Athens and Rhodes by the Athenians, who had condemned him and his kinsmen to death, and now a citizen of Thurii, they set free without even exacting a ransom, taking pity upon him.
