276 BCE

The despotic methods employed by Pyrrhus provoke a revolt of the Greek Sicilians, and in 276 (or early 275), he returns to Italy.

On his departure, the Syracusans appoint as commander of the troops his supporter Hiero, who strengthens his position by marrying the daughter of Leptines, the city's leading citizen.
