Translated by Christoph Martin Wieland
A tragedy likely written during the early 17th century (Elizabethan era). The play centers around Timon, an Athenian nobleman known for his extravagant generosity and kindness, who subsequently faces betrayal and disappointment when those he helped fail to support him in his time of need. The opening of ''Timon von Athen'' introduces us to Timon in his lavish household, receiving visits from several characters, including a poet and a painter, who seek to gain his favor. Timon is portrayed as a figure of great wealth and benevolence, eagerly providing assistance to friends and acquaintances alike, even financially supporting a friend, Ventidius, in prison. Tension builds as Timon's steward, Flavius, and others express concern about Timon's unsustainable extravagance and the impending financial ruin that results from his excessive generosity. This exposition sets the stage for the themes of friendship, betrayal, and the corrosive nature of wealth that will unfold throughout the play.
