Cimon

Cimon was an Athenian general and statesman, son of the Marathon hero Miltiades, who led Athens during its period of greatest expansion of the Delian League after the Persian Wars. He won a celebrated double victory over the Persians at the Battle of the Eurymedon around 466 BCE, destroying both the Persian fleet and army in a single day. His pro-Spartan sympathies led to his political downfall when he was ostracized after a failed expedition to Sparta during the helot revolt, though he was later recalled and helped broker the Five Years' Peace.
