Demarata
daughter of Hiero, king of Syracuse, was married to Andranodorus, the guardian of Hieronymus. After the assassination of the latter, she persuaded her husband to seize on the sovereign power; but his heart failed him, and lie surrendered the citadel to the opposite party. After the establishment of the republic, she was put to death, together with her niece Harmonia. (Liv. 24.22_25.)
