The amount of compensation is certainly not substantial. In many negotiations with Dionia, Herolis was finally forced to agree to pay war reparations, which is why he wanted to concentrate power on the development of Syracuse as soon as possible and let Syracuse get out of the quagmire of defeat as soon as possible.

However, the people of Syracuse found that the returned Syracuse citizen soldiers and sailors were missing a few people.

He Loris immediately sent people to negotiate with Dionia, but the reply of the Dionian officials made them feel helpless because of the fierce attack of the Syracuse army, Dionya was already on the verge of extinction, in order to get food support from Carthage, they had to agree to the other party's request and provide some Syracuse prisoners to Carthage.

Herolis had no choice but to make a fuss about the war reparations, and strongly demanded that Dionia cut part of the reparations.

However, the people of Syracuse believed that Herolis had not done his best and allowed the people of Syracuse to become slaves of Carthage.

The population was disappointed with him, including many civilians in the port area, as many of the captives who did not return were Syracuse sailors.

At this time, Davers also ordered the spies lurking in Syracuse to spread unfavorable rumors against Herolis, because Davers knew that many of the decisions made by Herolis were correct, but he did not want to see Syracuse rise again.

As a result, the people's dissatisfaction and suspicion of Herrolis grew, and many people rumored that Herrolis wanted to be the second Dionysius.

And it was during this period of turmoil that, according to the proposal issued by Herrolis, Facipezas, Damocles ...... These generals and ministers, who should have been severely punished, suddenly escaped from their imprisonment, and fled from the city of Syracuse with some dissatisfied people of Herolis, and joined up with the mercenaries of Macias who roamed the mountains to the west, and occupied the small city of Akle, a sub-state west of Syracuse.

Of course, Jerolis could not allow the remnants of Dionysius to rebel in Syracuse's sphere of influence, so he decided to personally lead the expedition, and before leaving, he instructed Falekus, Kuchias, Stasikos and others to guard the city of Syracuse, after all, he also knew that the political situation had been a little unstable recently.

As Herrolis arrived at Akleh with his troops and was besieging the city, he received bad news that there had been a rebellion in the city of Syracuse, and the citizens' assembly had not only re-elected the generals, but also unanimously passed a proposal to try the dictator Jerolis.

Why was it so easy to oust Jerolis from power in the city of Syracuse? That's because of the support of Falekus, Kuchias, Stascikos and others.

It turned out that these close friends of Herolis deeply felt that Herolis, after taking up the leadership of Syracuse, had become arbitrary and could not listen to their opinions, and although they were also members of the executive committee, they had almost no real power, and of course they were dissatisfied. Coupled with the influence of rumors in the city, they were worried that Herois would really become a dictator. Therefore, after the army of Jerolis led out of the city, under the persuasion of Theagenis, they resolutely chose to cooperate with the democrats and abandoned Herolis.

When Herois heard of the turmoil in the city, he immediately led his army back to his division, hoping to quickly calm the situation. Before they reached the city of Syracuse, most of their soldiers ran away.

Seeing that things could no longer be done, Jerolis had no choice but to flee from Syracuse by boat with his henchmen.

He did not choose to flee to the kingdom of Dionia, which had helped him overthrow Dionysius, nor to Sparta, Syracuse's former ally, but to Syracuse's former mother state, Corinth. By this time it was the third year of the Dionian kingdom (391 BC), and the Corinthian Wars had come to an end.

In order to prevent the recurrence of the situation in Herolis, the democrats who had seized power in the city of Syracuse elected 25 generals headed by Stasikos and Falekus to administer the affairs of the city-state through the citizens' assembly, and they also repealed some of the laws issued by Jerolis during his rule, including "war reparations to Dionys, and the resumption of the land allocated to the civilians of the port area......

This has not only worsened the diplomatic environment in Syracuse, but also angered the people in the port area.

At the same time, Theagenis also proposed to increase the punishment of citizens who had worked for Dionysius. This caused panic among many people in the city.

And the Dionian king Davers ordered the Eighth Army of the Eighth Army in Katanai to set up a posture of attacking Syracuse in a posture of attacking Syracuse.

Eventually, the new Syracuse generals gave in and had to increase the amount of war reparations. As for the civilians who caused riots in the port, Taiagenis and others mercilessly sent troops to suppress them.

At this time, Fasipezas and Macias led the rebel army in Aclay to march towards Syracuse, and played the slogan "Avenge the citizens who served Dionysius", which was actually recognized by many people in Syracuse

As a result, Teagenis led the unstable citizen soldiers out of the city, but was defeated by the rebels of Fasipes, who were outnumbered by them, and had to retreat into the city's defenses.

Fasipesas and Masias are both experienced generals and are very familiar with the city of Syracuse. Fasipezas pretended to storm the southern city of Syracuse, but Masias quickly bypassed the mountains with a small number of elite troops, rushed under the northern walls of Syracuse, and attacked the Hexa Gate, so he broke into the city and entered the Popickle area.

The people in the city were shocked.

However, at this critical moment, the General Executive Committee, composed of 25 generals, was debating who should be held responsible for the loss of the city, and at the same time arguing endlessly on the question of how to defend against the enemy, and could not come up with a concrete measure. It was not until Masias's army approached the inner city that the generals hurriedly put together their troops to meet the enemy, and the result was naturally another defeat.

The panicked democrats retreated to the island of Ortigia, and Fasipezas took advantage of the situation to enter the city and join Masias, and his former mercenaries took the opportunity to take revenge in the city, causing untold suffering to the people.

Herolis, who was far away in Corinth, had been following the dynamics of Syracuse, and at this time, after learning about the current tragic situation of the people, how could he, as a patriot, stand idly by. So, he asked the Corinthian government for some reinforcements and led them back to Ortigea by boat.

In the spring of the sixth year of the Dionian kingdom (388 BC), the people of Syracuse warmly welcomed the return of Herolis and begged him to forgive their betrayal.

On the island of Ortigia, Herolis gave a heartfelt speech, in which he said that "......" no matter what the people of Syracuse did to him, he would not hesitate to protect the country and its people, and if he could not save his mother country, he would rather be on the ruins of his homeland! ……”

The people of Syracuse, including his former friends and political opponents, were deeply moved by his words, and the people chanted "Save Syracuse!! Save Syracuse!! ……”

Seeing that morale was high and the morale of the people was available, Herrolis immediately formed an army, opened the gates of the long-closed island of Ortigia, rushed out of the isthmus, and launched a fierce attack on the rebels.

Fasipezas and Masias hastily led their troops to meet the battle.

When the people of the city heard that the leader was Herolis, they also rose up in response.

The rebels were defeated in successive battles, and finally Masias was killed in battle, Fasipesas was also captured, and the rebels were basically annihilated.

The prestige of Herolis, who had won the victory, was so great that he brazenly abolished the General's Executive Committee without holding a citizens' assembly, and deprived Theagenis and Falegus...... and other 25 generals in power, and the people did not dispute this.

This time, however, he returned to power, and Herolis explicitly wanted to establish a form of government similar to Ionia in Syracuse, which at the same time incorporated the Corinthian system.

It was a form of government in which a few elites ruled over the majority, and for this reason he relied more on the Corinthians to help him with the task of transforming the system.

The turmoil in Syracuse in recent years has caused the people to suffer, and in addition to the fact that Hrolis has reinstated his previous laws in Syracuse, many people have benefited, so the people have acquiesced in Hironis's seemingly dictatorial approach to change the form of government, and have not expressed strong opposition. And Jerolis's political enemies such as Theagenis, Falekus and others did not have the support of the people, and they could not set off a big storm, and the political situation in Syracuse began to stabilize.

The rule of Herolis gradually became stable, but in the midst of this stability came dangers.

Among the Corinthians who followed Herolis to Syracuse, there was a young nobleman named Andermarcus, who was appreciated by Herrolis for his bravery in battle, and served as the prefect of the city guard to protect the security of the city of Syracuse, and also served as the captain of the court of Herolas. But he was jealous of what Herrolis had achieved and tried in vain to replace him.

In the eighth year of the Dionian Kingdom (386 BC), when Herois went to the temple of Apollo to worship, Andermarcus's hired killers stabbed the general plenipotentiary of Syracuse to death, and then Andermarcus took advantage of the situation to usurp the supremacy of Syracuse.

In order to consolidate his power, he aggressively promoted the Corinthians, which was complained by the people of Syracuse.

A few months later, at a harvest celebration rally in Demeter, Herolis' widow publicly revealed the truth about her husband's assassination.

The people were outraged, and they rallied to overthrow the rule of Andermarcus.

Andermarcus also gathered an army to suppress it, but in the end he suffered a crushing defeat and died in the rebellion.
