520 _a"History of Greece, Volume 11 (of 12)" by George Grote is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume continues to explore the intricate political and military developments of ancient Greece, particularly focusing on events during the reign of Dionysius the Elder of Syracuse and the interactions among various Greek city-states and external powers. It provides an in-depth analysis of the socio-political landscape of Greece during this tumultuous period, detailing conflicts and alliances that shaped its history. The opening of this volume sets the stage for the continuation of Dionysius's reign, recounting his military successes and struggles, particularly against the Carthaginians and internal dissensions among mercenaries. It discusses several key events, including the Carthaginian army's defeat by a pestilence, Dionysius's efforts to establish his power in Sicily, and his ongoing conflicts with the Syracusans and Greeks in Southern Italy. The narrative also foreshadows Dionysius's aggressive ambitions towards neighboring regions and the consequent rise of resistance among the Italiot Greeks who are alarmed by his encroachments. Overall, the opening provides a vivid portrayal of the political machinations and military strategies that characterized this critical epoch in Greek history.
