Cimon of Athens

Tuesday September 9, 2003
Cimon gave up his illicit lover when an opportunity presented to marry her off to someone who could pay off a family debt. Cimon is one of the few Athenians who was actually ostracized, but he was also a leading Athenian general and probably a cousin of the historian Thucydides.
