Cimon

Cimon (510-449 BC) was an Athenian general, son of Miltiades. He distinguished himself in the struggle of Athens against Persia in 466 BC. He gained two victories over the Persians in one day, one by land and another by sea. He was banished by the democratic party, and after four years recalled to continue his victories over his old foes. He died at Cyprus.
