MEGARA HYBLAEA (perhaps identical with HYSLA MAJOR)

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 77 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MEC-MIC
MEGARA HYBLAEA (perhaps identical with HYSLA MAJOR) , an ancient city of Sicily, on the E.
coast
 , 12 M. N.N.W. of Syracuse, founded in 728 B.C. by Megarean colonists, who had previously settled successively at Trotilon, Leontini and
Thapsus
 . A hundred years later it founded Selinus, apparently because it had no room for development. It never seems to have been a town of
great
  importance, and had no advantages of position. It was destroyed by Gelon about 481 B.C., and its walls seem to have been razed to the ground. In the Athenian expedition against Syracuse (415-413) Lamachus proposed (it being then deserted) to make it the Athenian base of operations; but his advice was not taken, and in the next
spring
  the Syracusans fortified it. In 309 it was still fortified; but, after Marcellus captured it, in 214, we hear little more of it. Excavations carried on in 1881 led to the discovery of the
northern portion of the western town
wall
 , which in one
section
  served at the same time as an
embankment
  against floods (it was apparently more conspicuous in the time of P. Cluver, Sicilia, p. 133), of an extensive necropolis, about r000 tombs of which have been explored, and of a deposit of votive objects from a temple. The harbour lay to the north of the town.
See P. Orsi in Monumenti dei Lincei (1891), i. 689-950; and Atti del congresso delle scienze storiche, v. 181 (Rome, 1904). (T. As.)
