Hippocrates of Syracuse
Hippocrates (Greek: Ἱπποκράτης) was a Carthaginian general during the Second Punic War. He was the older brother of Epicydes,[1] with whom he ruled over Syracuse from 214 BC to 212 BC.[2][3]
Though his family was of Syracusan origins, he was born and raised in Carthage, where his grandfather had been banished to after being accused of assassinating Agathocles.[1] His mother was a Carthaginian.[4]
Hippocrates and Epicydes served in the arm[5]y of Hannibal and were sent as envoys to Syracuse, where they succeeded in convincing the tyrant Hieronymus to abandon the Syracusan alliance with the Romans.[1] When Hieronymus was killed, the brothers were able to get themselves elected as the leaders of the city, replacing Andranodorus and Themistus[6]
