Douketios was the military and political leader of the Sikels who, after the fall of the tyrants of Syracuse (466 BCE ), tried to unite the natives of southeastern Sicily into a league. All we know about him comes from Diodorus of Sicily (11.76, 78, 88–92; 12.8, 29), whose information goes back to the Sicilian historian Timaeus of Tauromenium.
