Heracleides (Ancient Greek: Ἡρακλείδης) was a Syracusan who held the chief command of the mercenary forces under Dionysius II of Syracuse. We have little information as to the causes which led to his exile from Syracuse, but it may be inferred, from an expression of Plutarch that he was suspected of conspiring with Dion of Syracuse and others to overthrow Dionysius: and it seems clear that he must have fled from Syracuse either at the same time with Dion and Dion's son Megacles, or shortly afterwards.

  • Heraclides (llatí: Heracleides, en grec antic: Ἡρακλείδης) fou un almirall siracusà que va dirigir a les forces mercenàries de Dionís el Jove. Va ser desterrat de Siracusa, segons sembla pel relat de Plutarc, per haver conspirat amb Dió de Siracusa i altres per l'enderrocament del tirà i segurament va fugir de la ciutat juntament amb Dió i Megacles o poc després. Es va reunir amb altres exiliats al Peloponès i va preparar l'enderrocament de Dió. Quan Dió va sortir cap a Siracusa, Heraclides va restar al Peloponès per reunir més tropes. Plutarc diu que va retardar la sortida per enemistat contra Dió, però el cert és que més tard se li va unir a Siracusa amb vaixells i soldats; va ser rebut amb aclamacions pels ciutadans que el van proclamar comandant en cap de les forces navals, cosa que va molestar a Dió que havia estat investit amb el poder suprem, però quan el poble va revocar el nomenament, llavors Dió el va nomenar pel mateix càrrec però sota la seva pròpia autoritat. En aquest moment Dionís restava assetjat a l'illa Ortígia i depenia dels subministraments per mar. Filist es va acostar a l'illa amb 60 trirrems i Heraclides li va sortir al pas amb una força similar, i va derrotar a Filist després d'un obstinat combat. Filist va ser fet presoner i executat i Dionís no va tardar a evacuar l'illa deixant a Apol·lòcrates al càrrec de la ciutadella (356 aC). Heraclides i altres 25 generals foren nomenats comandants i Dió va haver de deixar el poder suprem i es va retirar amb els seus mercenaris cap a Leontins; però les dissensions entre tants generals i l'arribada a Ortígia d'Hipsi amb reforços, va aconsellar als siracusans de tornar a cridar a Dió. Heraclides havia estat ferit però també va demanar la tornada de Dió i quan aquest va arribar es va posar al seu servei. Dió va ser confirmat en el càrrec de general autòcrata i va nomenar Heraclides com a almirall suprem. Segons Plutarc, historiador contrari a Heraclides, aquest va fugir amb la flota a Messana i va entrar en negociacions amb Dionís, però finalment es va tornar a sotmetre a Dió, que li va perdonar la vida i el va restaurar en el seu favor. Quan Apol·lòcrates va sortir d'Ortígia (354 aC) Dió va quedar amb el poder absolut de Siracusa i llavors va destituir Heraclides acusat de conspirar altre cop, i una banda d'homes armats el va anar a buscar a casa seva i el va matar. La indignació dels siracusans era tan gran que Dió li va haver de decretar un esplèndid funeral. (ca)
  • Ο Ηρακλείδης αυτός, σε αντιδιαστολή με τον συνώνυμό του ναύαρχο, ήταν στρατηγός των Συρακουσίων κατά τον 4ο αιώνα π.Χ.. Ήταν αρχηγός των μισθοφόρων του Τυράννου των Συρακουσών Διονύσιου του νεότερου. Όταν όμως περιήλθε σε δυσμένεια κατέφυγε στη Πελοπόννησο όπου και είχαν καταφύγει πολλοί εξόριστοι Συρακούσιοι υπό τον φιλόσοφο . Αφού συγκέντρωσε περί τους 1500 άνδρες και 20 τριήρεις επιτέθηκε εναντίον του Διονυσίου όπου και του κατέστρεψε το στόλο αναγκάζοντας τον ίδιο σε φυγή. Στη συνέχεια ο Ηρακλείδης προσπάθησε να απομακρύνει και τον Δίωνα προκειμένου να μείνει μόνος κύριος της κατάστασης. Αυτό όμως εξόργισε τους μισθοφόρους του οι οποίοι και τον ανάγκασαν να τον επαναφέρει. Στη συνέχεια όμως όταν ο Δίωνας απέκτησε μεγάλη ισχύ συνέλαβε τον Ηρακλείδη και τελικά τον αποκεφάλισε. Το έγκλημα αυτό του Δίωνα εξήγειρε τον λαό στον οποίον και αναγκάσθηκε στη συνέχεια να ζητήσει δημόσια συγγνώμη. (el)
  • Herakleides von Syrakus (altgriechisch Ἡρακλείδης Hērakleídēs; † 354 v. Chr. in Syrakus) war ein Offizier und demokratischer Politiker im griechisch besiedelten Teil Siziliens. Unter dem Tyrannen Dionysios II. musste er aus seiner Heimatstadt Syrakus fliehen. Er ging nach Griechenland ins Exil. Nach dem Sturz des Tyrannen wählten ihn die Syrakuser zum Flottenbefehlshaber. Innenpolitisch war er der prominenteste Vorkämpfer der Demokratie. (de)
  • Heracleides (Ancient Greek: Ἡρακλείδης) was a Syracusan who held the chief command of the mercenary forces under Dionysius II of Syracuse. We have little information as to the causes which led to his exile from Syracuse, but it may be inferred, from an expression of Plutarch that he was suspected of conspiring with Dion of Syracuse and others to overthrow Dionysius: and it seems clear that he must have fled from Syracuse either at the same time with Dion and Dion's son Megacles, or shortly afterwards. Having joined the other exiles in the Peloponnesus, he co-operated with Dion in his preparations for the overthrow of Dionysius, and the liberation of Syracuse, but did not accompany him when he actually sailed, having remained behind in the Peloponnesus in order to assemble a larger force both of ships and soldiers. According to the historian Diodorus Siculus, his departure was for some time retarded by adverse weather; but Plutarch (whose account is throughout unfavorable to Heracleides) ascribes the delay to his jealousy of Dion. It is certain, however, that he eventually joined the latter at Syracuse, with a force of 20 triremes and 1,500 heavy-armed troops. He was received with acclamations by the Syracusans, who immediately proclaimed him commander-in-chief of their naval forces, an appointment which was resented by Dion as an infringement of the supreme authority already entrusted to himself; but the people having revoked their decree, he himself reinstated Heracleides of his own authority. Dionysius was at this time shut up in the island citadel of Ortygia, and mainly dependent for his supplies upon the command of the sea. Philistus now approached to his relief with a fleet of 60 triremes, but he was encountered by Heracleides with a force about equal to his own; and after an obstinate combat, totally defeated. Philistus himself fell into the hands of the Syracusans, by whom he was put to death; and Dionysius, now almost despairing of success, soon after quitted Syracuse, leaving Apollocrates in charge of the citadel in 356 BC. The distinguished part which Heracleides had borne in these successes led him to contest with Dion the position of leader in those that remained to be achieved, and his pretensions were supported by a large party among the Syracusans themselves, who are said to have entertained less jealousy of his seeking to possess himself of the sovereign power than they felt in regard to Dion. Unfortunately our knowledge of the subsequent intrigues and dissensions between the two leaders is almost wholly derived from Plutarch; and his manifest partiality to Dion renders his statements concerning his rival liable to much suspicion. Heracleides was at first triumphant; twenty-five generals, of whom he was one, were appointed to take the command, and Dion retired in disgust, accompanied by the mercenary troops in his pay, to Leontini. But the mismanagement of the new generals, and the advantages gained by , who had arrived in the citadel with a large reinforcement, soon compelled the Syracusans to have recourse once more to Dion. Heracleides had been disabled by a wound; but he not only joined in sending messages to Dion, imploring his assistance, but immediately on his arrival placed himself in his power, and sued for forgiveness. This was readily granted by Dion, who was reinstated in his position of general autocrator, on the proposal of Heracleides himself, and in return bestowed upon the latter once more the sole command by sea. Yet the reconciliation was far from sincere: Heracleides, if we may believe the accounts of his enemies, withdrew, with the fleet under his command, to Messana, and even entered into negotiations with Dionysius: but he was again induced to submit to Dion, who (contrary, it is said, to the advice of all his friends) spared his life, and restored him to favor. But when the departure of Apollocrates had left Dion sole master of Syracuse in 354 BC, he no longer hesitated to remove his rival, whom he justly regarded as the chief obstacle to his ambitious designs; and under pretense that Heracleides was again intriguing against him, he had him put to death in his own house by a band of armed men. The popularity of Heracleides was so great, and the grief and indignation of the Syracusans, on learning his death, broke forth with so much violence, that Dion was compelled to honor him with a splendid funeral, and to make a public oration in extenuation of his crime.
