	Timon [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		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.

	Timon of Athens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Timon is a wealthy lord of Athens who overextends his munificence by showering patronage on parasitic writers and artists, and delivering his dubious friends from their financial straits.
		Shadowing Timon is his opposite number, the cynic philosopher Apemantus, who terrorizes Timon's shallow companions with his caustic railery.
		When Apemantus appears and accuses Timon of copying his pessimistic style, the audience is treated to the spectacle of a mutually misanthropic exchange of invective.

	Timon of Phlius
		As was mentioned in the previous section, Timon's picture of Arcesilaus, in three surviving fragments of the Silloi, appears wholly uncomplimentary; although the imagery in these fragments (shorn of their surrounding context) is not entirely perspicuous, the general impression seems to be of an unoriginal and self-important fool.
		Timon may have been an effective spokesman for Pyrrho's outlook, but it is not clear that he entirely succeeds in exemplifying it himself.
		The fact that Timon needs to make this statement suggests that the accusation regularly leveled against the Pyrrhonists (as well as the skeptical Academy), that it would be impossible to live in accordance with their philosophy, goes back to the earliest phase of the tradition.

		If it were not for certain speeches and touches chiefly in the part of Ulysses, and in the parts of the hero and heroine, it might be called the least Shakespearean of all the plays.
		Timon of Athens, again a puzzle, is a puzzle of a different kind.
		But Timon himself must be Shakespeare’s own; he has so much of good in him, and might have been made so much better, that it is impossible to imagine Shakespeare, in his maturity, turning over such a character to be botched by underlings, and associated with third rate company.

	Timon of Athens (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Any company attempting "Timon of Athens" ventures onto rocky, infrequently explored ground, William Shakespeare's unfinished late tragedy, a kind of rough-cut "Coriolanus" or "King Lear" without the dramatic scope or psychological insight, depicts the abrupt downfall of a generous but self-deluded glad-hander who's betrayed by a flock of corrupt Athenian sycophants.
		Timon's frenzied exit just before intermission is an audacious visual coup that deserves to be discovered fresh by each startled audience.

		Timon’s passage to awareness, however, is neither purgative nor transcendent.
		Timon may come from a good family, perhaps even a noble one (the text never specifies his background), but he is clearly not the prince of Denmark or the king of England.
		His entire social status is derived from the size of his pocketbook and he emerges, perhaps, as our truest contemporary in the works of Shakespeare: a seemingly modern man devoid of spirituality, materialistic to the core, and desperate for recognition to justify the emptiness of his existence.

	Lambs' Tales From Shakespeare - Timon Of Athens
		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.
		But Timon the naked, Timon the man-hater, was no longer lord Timon, the lord of bounty, the flower of valour, their defence in war, their ornament in peace.

	Timon of Athens Philip Goodwin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Timon doesn't have much to say, but when he does speak, he uses honest, generous, and giving language, rightly reflecting his character.
		In The Shakespeare Theatre's production of Timon, the main character's arc is particularly cruel, with Timon's descent from successful businessman to destitute vagrant set during the financially obscene 1980s, and the suggestion that some kind of mental illness might be afflicting Timon.
		Goodwin considers Timon's rise and fall a "Washington story," and believes Shakespeare's cautionary tale is ripe for production in the nation's capital.

	UTEL: Characters of Shakespear's Plays
		The churlish profession of misanthropy in the cynic is contrasted with the profound feeling of it in Timon, and also with the soldier-like and determined resentment of Alcibiades against his countrymen, who have banished him, though this forms only an incidental episode in the tragedy.
		Apemantus sees nothing good in any object, and exaggerates whatever is disgusting: Timon is tormented with the perpetual contrast between things and appearances, between the fresh, tempting outside and the rottenness within, and invokes mischiefs on the heads of mankind proportioned to the sense of his wrongs and of their treacheries.
		Timon is here just as ideal in his passion for ill as he had before been in his belief of good.
