The Tripods of the Deinomenids were two tripods within the Sanctuary of Delphi in Phokis, Greece.
History[edit | edit source]
The heavy tripods, each weighing 400 kg, were dedicated to Gelo by his brother Hiero I of Syracuse, after the latter's victory at the Battle of Kume in 474 BCE, in order to recall Gelo's victory at the Battle of Himera in 480 BCE.[1]
During the Peloponnesian War, the site was visited by the Spartan misthios Kassandra.[2]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The Historical Locations-tidbit confuses the order of the battles, stating that Hiero had won the battle of Himera, and the monument recalled Gelo's victory at the Battle of Kume.
The name of the monument references Deinomenid rulers of Syracuse.
