Himera

Himera, an ancient city on the north coast of Sicily, east of Panormus (Palermo), and near the mouth of the river Himera, was a Greek colony established 649 A.D., and destroyed in 409 by the Carthaginians, who afterwards built Thermæ (mod. Termini) across the river. Stesichorus was a native of Himera, Agathocles of Thermæ.
