Summary

This chapter discusses democracies located in Sicily and southern Italy, as well as Corcyra, Epidamnus, and Cyrene, from 480 to 323 bc. The treatment covers all the examples for which there is strong evidence of demokratia at some point during this period, resulting in certainty or probability of democracy in each case. Further cases (for which there is less available evidence) could have existed as well, of course.

Sicilian cities come up first for discussion, followed by Italian ones, then Corcyra, Epidamnus, and Cyrene. Within the subsections a roughly alphabetical order will be followed, though I begin the chapter with Syracuse owing to its importance.
