Historical background
LUCANIA - SYBARIS
(446-440 BC)
Sybaris, destroyed by the Crotoniates in 510 BC, did not completely disappear. Prior to the founding of the Pan-Hellenic colony of Thurium in 443 BC, we have three "resurrections" of the city. The first was under crotoniate influence between 510 and 475 BC. The city was taken and destroyed a second time between 475 and 470 BC by the hereditary enemy, according to Diodorus. Sybarite refugees came from Poseidonia to refound the city in 453 BC with perhaps the help of inhabitants of Laus, but the city was destroyed five years later by the Crotoniates. The Sybarites then appealed for help to Athens in 446 BC and a new Pan-Hellenic colony was founded in 444 BC which would later become the city of Thurium, while the native Sybarites were driven out of the new Sybaris (Thurium) around 440 BC and were going to found their new city on the banks of the Traeis.
