an and statesman, was a son of the great ancient Athenian general Miltiades. He fought against the Persians in the battle of Salamis (480 b. c.), and shared with Aristides the chief command of the fleet sent to Asia to deliver the Greek colonies from the Persian yoke. The return of Aristides to Athens soon after left Cimon at the head of the whole naval force of Greece. He distinguished himself by his achievements in Thrace, having defeated the Persians by the Strymon, and made himself master of the country. He conquered the pirate-island of Scyros, subdued all the cities on the coast of Asia , Minor pursued the Persian fleet up the Eurymedon, destroyed more than 200 of their ships, and then, having landed, on the same day entirely defeated their army (469 b. c.). He employed the spoil which he had taken in the embellishment of Athens , and in 463 reduced the revolted Thasians; but the popular leaders, beginning to fear his power, charged him on his return rupted by the King of Macedon. The with having been corcharge charge was dropped, but when Cimon's policy of friendship to the Lacedæmonians ended in the latter insulting the troops sent by Athens to their aid, his opponents secured his banishment. He retired into Bœotia, and his request to be allowed to fight with the Athenians against the Lacedæmonians in 457 at Tanagra was refused by the suspicious generals. Eventually Cimon was recalled at the instance of Pericles to conclude a peace with Lacedæmon. He died shortly after, in 449, while besieging Citium in Cyprus.

A celebrated Roman, who was informed as he plowed in the fields that the senate had chosen him to be Dictator. On this he left the plow and repaired to the field of battle, where his countrymen were opposed by the Volsci and Aequi. He conquered the enemy, and entered Rome in triumph. 2026 Editor's Note: Cimon was the son of Miltiades, not his father. He rose to prominence at the Battle of Salamis (480 BC) and later commanded the Delian League, achieving a major victory at the Battle of the Eurymedon river in 466 BC. His political career ended when he was ostracized in 461 BC after the Spartans rejected Athenian military aid, a humiliation that destroyed his popularity in Athens. (Ed: BR 2026-07-09)
