	The Internet Classics Archive \| Dion by Plutarch
		Dion was, indeed, at this time extremely young in years, but of all the scholars that attended Plato he was the quickest and aptest to learn, and the most prompt and eager to practise, the lessons of virtue, as Plato himself reports of him and his own actions sufficiently testify.
		Dion was angry at all this, and not long after declared open enmity to Dionysius, on hearing what had been done with his wife; on which matter Plato, also, had had some confidential correspondence with Dionysius.
		Dion entered by the Menitid gate, and having by sound of trumpet quieted the noise of the people, he caused proclamation to be made, that Dion and Megacles, who were come to overthrow the tyrannical government, did declare the Syracusans and all other Sicilians to be free from the tyrant.

	Dion * People, Places, & Things * Greek Mythology: From the Iliad to the Fall of the Last Tyrant
		When Dionysius II assumed control of Syracuse after the death of his father, Dion became an unpopular figure because of his wealth and political views; Dion was a firm believer in the philosophy of Plato and Dionysius II found these ideas contrary to his form of monarchy.
		In 357 BCE Dion returned to Sicily and, for a short time, was de facto ruler of Syracuse; after a dispute with the more politically radical Heraklides (Heraclides), Dion left Syracuse but was recalled in 355 BCE to expel the last of the militant followers of Dionysius II.
		Dion’s illusion of popular support compelled him to act imperiously and violently; he had the irritating political dissident Heraklides killed and this soon led to his own assassination in 353 BCE; his assertive fascination with idealistic political thought only succeeded in plunging Syracuse into twenty years of chaos.

	The Baldwin Project: The Story of the Greeks by H. A. Guerber
		As Dion was modest, truthful, and eager to learn, he soon became a favorite of Plato, who took great interest in him, and spared no pains to make him a fine scholar and philosopher.
		Dion then wrote again such imploring letters, that the philosopher finally decided to change his mind, and set sail for Syracuse.
		They were so afraid that the virtuous Dion would again win their fickle master's ear, and induce him to do something really useful and reasonable, that they made up their minds to get rid of him.

		When the tyrant asked his opinion about the poems, therefore, he unhesitatingly answered that they were trash, and did not deserve the name of poetry at all.
		The tyrant read the petition, and promised to grant their request on condition that the philosopher would sup with him.
