	Timon [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Timon was a disciple of Pyrrho and philosopher of the sect of the Skeptics, who flourished in the reign of Ptolemy Philadelphus, about 279 BCE.
		Timon appears to have had an active mind, and with a quick perception of the follies of people which betrays its possessor into a spirit of universal distrust both of men and truths, so as to make him a skeptic in philosophy and a satirist in everything.
		The Silli of Timon were in three books, in the first of which he spoke in his own person, and the other two are in the form of a dialogue between the author and Xenophanes of Colophon, in which Timon proposed question,s to which Xenophanes replied at length.

		Parties at Timon's house are legendary; the food and wine and women flow fast and classy; the party favors handed out to his guests are a millionaire's trinkets.

	Lambs' Tales From Shakespeare - Timon Of Athens
		Timon, a lord of Athens, in the enjoyment of a princely fortune, affected a humour of liberality which knew no limits.
		For lord Timon weighed his friends' affection with his own, and so fond was he of bestowing, that he could have dealt kingdoms to these supposed friends, and never have been weary.
		Timon would still put him off, and turn the discourse to something else; for nothing is so deaf to remonstrance as riches turned to poverty, nothing is so unwilling to believe its situation, nothing so incredulous to its own true state, and hard to give credit to a reverse.

		Timon of Athens is the bitterest and most negative of all Shakespeare's tragedies.
		However, when Timon becomes the misanthrope, his voice darkens and coarsens; and it is very hard to tell it from Apemantus' in their overly-long exchange of curses in 4:3.
		When Timon through fate gains a second fortune, he does not turn back into what he was, but rather he uses his 2nd fortune to destroy Athens.

		As would often have been the case with the wealthy young Earl of Oxford, a Poet, a Painter, a Merchant, and a jeweller are awaiting Timon's appearance, to proffer their wares to him; Senators come and go; and presently a Messenger arrives to request of Timon a loan for his master.
		Timon's bitter jest of serving his false friends and flatterers with covered dishes containing only warm water (III.6) is thus particularly ironical, expressing, as it does, the scorn of the impoverished Lord Great Chamberlain.
		From Timon of Athens through King Lear, the disasters which overwhelm the characters who stand, either wholly or partially, for Oxford himself, will be described as "wracks" or "storms." And not only is this the case in the plays, but in his life too, as will be seen.

		Karl Klein introduces Shakespeare's play as a complex exploration of a corrupt, moneyed society, and Timon himself as a rich and philanthropic nobleman who is forced to recognize the inherent destructiveness of the Athenian society from which he retreats in disgust and rage.
		Klein establishes Timon as one of Shakespeare's late works, arguing that evidence for other authors is inconclusive.
		He shows the play to be neither tragedy, satire nor comedy, but a subtle and complete drama whose main characters contain elements of all three genres.

		I have explicitly chosen to make two of Timon's false friends, as well as the poet female, prior to any casting beginning.
		Other significant changes I have made is giving ample business (and lines Shakespeare gave to generic characters) to Ventidia, whom Timon has redeemed from prison, and depicting the wedding of Lucilius on stage.
		The production is intended to be in quasi-contemporary dress--modern but not necessarily "now," but this play is believed to be the first Shakespeare play ever staged in modern dress, in 1947, three years before a modern dress Hamlet shook the theatre world.
