Years: 397BCE - 397BCE
The Greek fleet under Leptines, the brother of Dionysius I of Syracuse, engages the Carthaginian fleet under Mago near the city of Catana in Sicily.
While the Greek army under Dionysius is present near the city of Catana during the battle, the Carthaginian army under Himilco is away in the interior of Sicily, making a detour around the erupting Mt.
Etna.
The Carthaginian fleet crushes the Greek fleet in the battle: over twenty thousand soldiers/rowers and one hundred ships are lost before the surviving Greek ships can make a run to safety.
