'Also, Xanthippos the Spartan was killed by the Sicilians. A war, lasting twenty-four years, was waged between the Romans and Sicilians around the Lilybaeum, city of the Sicilians. The Sicilians having been defeated in battle many times, offered the city for slavery to the Romans. However, the Romans would not even listen to that, demanding that the Sicilians leave (the city) naked. Xanthippos the Spartan, arriving from Sparta with one hundred soldiers, or by some accounts alone, or by others with fifty soldiers, reached the Sicilians while they were besieged and speaking convincingly through interpreters at the end he encouraged them to (fight) against their enemies. And enjoining battle with them cut down to pieces the whole Roman army. And from the ones who were benefited he received a payback worthy and appropriate to such malign people. The pitiful cowards set the man in a rotten ship and sank him beneath the swirling waters of Adriatic, in their envy of the hero and his noble accomplishment.' From Diodoros' of Sicily Library of History. Book 23:16.
