Hanno
2. Son of the same Hamilcar, according to Justin (19.2). It is probable that this is the same with the father of Himilco, who took Agrigentum, B. C. 406 (Diod. 13.80); it being expressly stated by Diodorus that that general and Hannibal, the son of Gisco, who was also grandson of Hamilcar, No. ], were of the same family. Heeren (Ideen, vol. iv. p. 539) conjectures this Hanno to be the same with the navigator and author of the Periplus.
