Mighty Blow
Phalaris is credited with many construction projects: he strengthened the walls of Acragas, built an aqueduct, and added several other beautiful buildings. He also improved trade with Carthage and organized impressive athletic contests. All this is plausible. In a new city like Acragas, we can expect construction works, economic measures, and the establishment of festivals.
The tyrant is also credited with war against native cities -one of them was Vessa- and capturing them. Their territories were added to that of Acragas.
Phalaris became the prototype of an evil dictator. One of the most famous stories about him is that of the iron (or brazen) bull made by Perilaus of Athens, a well-known bronze-worker. The victims of the tyrant were shut up inside this artifice and then a fire was kindled underneath the bull. The poor prisoners were them roasted alive, and by some sort of acoustic mechanism, the shrieks of his agony resembled the bull's bellowing. The first victim is said to have been Perilaus himself.
