His doctrines were recorded in the satiric writings of his pupil Timon of Phlius ( the Sillographer ).

The satires are called Silloi by late writers, and this name may go back to Xenophanes himself, but it may originate in the fact that Timon of Phlius, the " sillographer " ( 3rd century BC ), put much of his own satire upon philosophers into the mouth of Xenophanes.

Timon is said to have called him a " mob-reviler.

Dyce was closely connected with several literary societies, and undertook the publication of Kempe's Nine Days ' Wonder for the Camden Society ; and the old plays of Timon of Athens and Sir Thomas More were published by him for the Shakespeare Society.

Timon gives away money wastefully, and everyone wants to please him to get more, except for Apemantus, a churlish philosopher whose cynicism Timon cannot yet appreciate.

The man is angry, but Timon pays him three talents in exchange for the couple being allowed to marry, because the happiness of his servant is worth the price.

Timon is upset that he has not been told this before, and begins to vent his anger on Flavius, who tells him that he has tried repeatedly in the past without success, and now he is at the end ; all Timon's land has been sold.

Timon has a much smaller party, intended only for those he feels have betrayed him.

Timon offers most of the gold to the rebel Alcibiades to subsidise his assault on the city, which he now wants to see destroyed, as his experiences have reduced him to misanthropy.

Timon is misled by facades of friendship, and so inflicts apropos revenge: misleading those that had misled him by having them suffer the disillusionment of mortal senses with the mere spectacle of a banquet.

From this positioning, a contrast is created between Timon and his guests giving eloquent speeches from the area around the table and Apemantus who is situated so as the audience can hear him, but the other characters behind him cannot.

Herman Melville considered Timon to be among the most profound of Shakespeare's plays, and in his 1850 review " Hawthorne and His Mosses " writes that Shakespeare is not " a mere man of Richard-the-Third humps, and Macbeth daggers ," but rather " it is those deep far-away things in him ; those occasional flashings-forth of the intuitive Truth in him ; those short, quick probings at the very axis of reality :– these are the things that make Shakespeare, Shakespeare.

Timon and Pumbaa were planning to eat him, but ended up becoming friends with him instead.

He is known for being a convincing liar and impersonator and always manages to trick Timon and Pumbaa ( or just Timon ) into helping him

Rafiki appears to Timon and reminds him that his Hakuna Matata is not a home but friendship, prompting Timon to go after his friends.

Simba accepts his place as king of the Pride Lands, thanking Timon and Pumbaa for helping him.

He asks what they are planning and Timon replies to him that they are building a non-ecological resort called Hakuna Matata Lakeside Village.

Some may be collaborations between Shakespeare and other dramatists ( yet it must be remembered that the First Folio includes plays such as Henry VIII, Henry VI, part 1 and Timon of Athens that are believed to be collaborative, according to modern stylistic analysis ).

According to Diogenes Laërtius, Timon was a one-eyed man ; and he used even to make a jest of his own defect, calling himself Cyclops.

" He is also said to have been fond of retirement, and of gardening ; but Diogenes introduces this statement and some others in such a way as to suggest a doubt whether they ought to be referred to our Timon or to Timon of Athens, or whether they apply equally to both.

Diogenes Laertius ( ix. 61 ) relates that he was a student of Pyrrho, along with Eurylochus, Timon the Phliasian, Nausiphanes of Teos and others, and includes him among the " Pyrrhoneans ".

Though Clement of Alexandria, Sextus Empiricus, and Diogenes Laertius all quote the same passage from Timon, where Socrates is termed a laxoos or lithoxoos in ancient Greek, Timon's work is polemical and not a serious attempt to transmit literal, historical facts.

Using Barton and Hall's structure, Strehler also added several characters, including a Chorus, who used monologues from Richard II, both parts of Henry IV, Henry V, Macbeth and Timon of Athens, and two gravediggers called Bevis and Holland ( after the names of two of Cade's rebels in the Folio text of 2 Henry VI ), who commented ( with dialogue written by Strehler himself ) on each of the major characters as they set about burying them.

Shadowing Timon is another guest at the banquet ; the cynical philosopher Apemantus, who terrorises Timon's shallow companions with his caustic raillery.

Accompanying Alcibiades are two prostitutes, Phrynia and Timandra, who trade barbs with the bitter Timon on the subject of venereal disease.

He invites the last envoys from Athens, who hoped Timon might placate Alcibiades, to go hang themselves, and then dies in the wilderness.

Here lie I, Timon, who alive, all living men did hate,

The word in the folio is, in fact, " forth ," suggesting that " th ' infected " are simply the ones who argued strongly against the cases of Timon and Alicibiades's officer, and that the troops are to leave alone those who just went along with it.

Commentators who admire the play typically see Timon as intended to have been a young man behaving in a naïve way.

It tells about a Hamlet-like figure, called Timon of Assens who comes from the Danish town of Assens.

Stephen Oliver, who wrote the incidental music for the BBC television version, composed a two-act opera, Timon of Athens, which was first performed at the Coliseum, London, on 17 May 1991.

This suggests a Timon who lives in the world but not of it.

Other versions, often by creators who regard the play as a lesser work, involve jazz-era swinging ( sometimes, such as in the Michael Langham / Brian Bedford production ( in which Timon eats flamingo ) set to a score that Duke Ellington composed for it in the 1960s ), and conclude the first act with a debauchery.

He's got no friends other than Timon and Pumbaa ( who became his friends after they were stranded in Antarctica and Erwin had two extra tickets to a cruise ship ).

* Smolder the Bear ( voiced by Jim Cummings ) – A large bear with a very short temperament who Timon and Pumbaa often run into.
