Ducetius (Ancient Greek: Δουκέτιος) (died 440 BCE) was a Hellenized leader of the Sicels and founder of a united Sicilian state and numerous cities.[1] It is thought he may have been born around the town of Mineo.[2] His story is told through the Greek historian Diodorus Siculus in the 1st century BCE, who drew on the work of Timaeus. He was a native Sicilian, but his education was Greek[3] and was very much influenced by Greek civilization in Sicily. He is sometimes known by the Hellenized name of Douketios.
