• Resumen

  • On the basis of Arist. Pol. 1312b9�16, the expulsion of the last Deinomenid tyrant Thrasybulus from Syracuse in 466/5 BC is usually ascribed to a conspiracy planned by his relatives assisted by external allies, often identified with representatives of the popular party. However, because of the controversial manuscript tradition of the passage, this is not the only possible interpretation, as we can see starting from medieval commentaries and translations of the Politics. Through a historical-philological analysis a different explanation is proposed. According to this reading the rebellion would exclusively have been carried out by members of the Deinomenid family, without the co-operation of supposed external allies.
