The Mercenaries Of Calippus Of Syracuse

Callippus and his crew were responsible for assassinating a fellow by the name of Dion, who was a student of Plato. It was during the feast of Demeter and Chore that Callippus and his men cruised into Dion’s chamber and offed him while his guards were distracted.

Not only did this group of assassins take over Syracuse for 13 months, they then went and marched across Italy to take over Rhegium.

Unfortunately for Callippus- he got a little bit of a power trip and mistreated his assassin crew. Big mistake. They killed him with the same sword they used to kill Dion. Karma, man.
