Dionysius II (lived 4th century BC)

Tyrant of Syracuse 367–343 BC, son and successor of Dionysius I. He was driven out of Syracuse by Dion 357 and fled to Locri. After the murder of Dion 353, Dionysius returned to Syracuse, but was expelled again 343 by the Corinthian Timoleon. He then retired to Corinth, where he spent the rest of his life.

According to some authorities, Dionysius supported himself during his retirement in Corinth by running a school.
