Thrasybulus of Syracuse

Thrasybulus (Greek: Θρασύβουλος) was a tyrant who ruled Syracuse for eleven months[1] during 466 and 465 BC. He was a member of the Deinomenid family and the brother of the previous tyrant Hiero, who seized power in Syracuse by convincing Gelon's son to give up his claim to the leadership of Syracuse. A few months later, members of the Deinomenid family overthrew him. However, the Deinomenid family was subsequently overthrown and a democracy was established in Syracuse.[2]

gollark: Obviously all this needs power, so there's a 16kRF/t TBU oxide reactor (machine-designed) on the left powering it. Thorium is supplied by the lens of the miner setup and it somehow runs net-positive.
gollark: The roof has an AE2 system glued to it which does the main crafting.
gollark: Gold is supplied by a lens of the miner setup with some processing hooked to it. That dumps into the 28 or so storage caches.
gollark: Since I don't want to mine for those constantly, the machinery near the back grows redstone (and slime, string, cacti) and also produces several million wooden planks a day as byproduct. I don't know *what* to do with those.
