Timotheus (general)

Possible portrait of Timotheos, wearing a victory wreath, on an electrum stater of Kyzikos, mid 4th century BC.[1]

Timotheus (Greek: Τιμόθεος; died 354 BC) was a Greek statesman and general who sought to revive Athenian imperial ambitions by making Athens dominant in a Second Athenian League. He was the son of the Athenian general, Conon. Isocrates considered that Timotheus was superior to the other commanders of his time and showed all the requisites and abilities of a good general.[2]
