Gelo and Theron do not attack Rhegion…
479 BCE
Gelo and Theron do not attack Rhegion or the Carthaginian territory in Sicily after the battle, nor does Carthage, which initially mans the city walls and prepares for a Greek invasion of Africa, renew the struggle.
Gelo offers mild terms to the Carthaginian embassy that arrives asking for a ceasefire.
Carthage pays two thousand silver talents as indemnity and erects two monuments in the memory of Himera, but loses no territory.
Selinus and Rhegion also come to terms with Syracuse, and Anaxilas marries his daughter to Hiero, brother of Gelo, who will succeed him as tyrant of Syracuse in 478.
