Luraghi argues that Anaxilaus of Rhegium was influenced by the new style of rule put forward by Hippocrates, his earlier contemporary.
Indeed there are a lot of aspects which prove that the tyranny of Anaxilaus was similar to the rule of Hippocrates.
The author assumes that the "messenismo" of Anaxilaus first of all was a political program, because there is hardly any trace of Messenian influence in Rhegium in archaic times.

Although the name Anaxilaus creates the urge to be reliable and responsible, we emphasize that it frustrates you through a scattered and emotional nature.
This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the liver, bloodstream, and through worry and mental tension.
As Anaxilaus, you have a natural interest in the welfare of your fellow man, and a desire to help and serve others in a humanitarian way.

But no sooner was he fairly gone than those who were minded to betray the city set to work.
Their names were Cydon, Ariston, Anaxicrates, Lycurgus, and Anaxilaus.
It was for these reasons, as Anaxilaus himself admitted, he had introduced the enemy, and not for the sake of money, nor out of hatred to Lacedaemon.

 CHARONDAS - LoveToKnow Article on CHARONDAS
Some make him a pupil of Pythagoras (c.
580504 B.C.); but all that can be said is that he was earlier than Anaxilaus of Rhegium (494476), since his laws were in u~e amongst the Rhegians until they were abolished by that tyrant.
His laws, originally written in verse, were adopted by the other Chalcidic colonies in Sicily and Italy.

 A Treatise on Government - Aristotle - Free Online Library
But one tyranny often changed into another; as at Syria, from Myron's to Clisthenes'; or into an oligarchy, as was Antileo's at Chalcas; or into a democracy, as was Gelo's at Syracuse; or into an aristocracy, as was Charilaus's at Lacedsemon, and at Carthage.
An oligarchy is also changed into a tyranny; such was the rise of most of the ancient tyrannies in Sicily; at Leontini, into the tyranny of Panaetius; at Gela, into that of Cleander; at Rhegium into that of Anaxilaus; and the like in many other cities.
But in Carthage, which is a democracy, money-getting is creditable, and yet their form of government remains unaltered.

 Alcibiades by Plutarch
When the treaty was sworn to on both sides, Alcibiades went against the Byzantines, who had revolted from the Athenians, and drew a line of circumvallation about the city.
But Anaxilaus and Lycurgus, together with some others, having undertaken to betray the city to him upon his engagement to preserve the lives and property of the inhabitants, he caused a report to be spread abroad, as if by reason of some unexpected movement in Ionia, he should be obliged to raise the siege.
And, accordingly, that day he made a show to depart with his whole fleet; but returned the same night, and went ashore with all his men at arms, and, silently and undiscovered, marched up to the walls.

 Why was hemlock used on children? -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Hemlock kills by thickening the blood--its other powerful property--and so spots are seen on the bodies of people killed by it." Still Pliny felt the plant useful for "checking running eyes in summer and for alleviating pains in them." (Natural History, translated John F. Healy, 1991)
"Anaxilaus is the authority who states that if young girls' breasts are rubbed with hemlock they will always be firm.
If it is rubbed on men's testicles at puberty it suppresses sexual desire." Since religious authorities considered the writings of the ancients as truth, the practice continued through the Middle Ages.

LXXV, 1.) Anaxilaus King of Rhegium, drove the Samians themselves out, and called the Town Messana, from the Peloponnesian Messana, the Country of his Ancestors.
who places this same Anaxilaus of Rhegium about CLXXX years higher than Herodotus and Thucydides do; and tells the story very differently; That he assisted the Refugees of Messana in Peloponessus, after the second war with the Spartans, to take Zancle in Sicily; which thereupon was called Messana, Olymp.
These things, says he, were done, at the XXIX Olympiad, when Chionis the Spartan won the Olympic Race the second time, Miltiades being Archon at Athens.
