While fighting the Argives, this man saw his brother get bucked off a horse then shielded him from incoming javelin fire according to a Plutarch anecdote. A non-playwright Aeschylus and a seer named Satyrus or Orthagoras killed this man’s brother Timophanes while this man looked on and wept in disapproval of Timophanes’ tyrannical rule. This man was paired with Lucius Aemilius Paullus in Plutarch’s Parallel Lives. This man won the Battle of the (*) Crimissus and earlier defeated a ruler holed up in a fortress on Ortygia. This man held up Carthaginians in Rhegium, then sailed across the Strait of Messina in 344 BC to free a city-state from tyranny before retiring to private life. For 10 points, name this Corinthian general who defeated Hicetas and Dionysius II in restoring democracy to Syracuse. ■END■
