Cleon

Athenian politician and general

470 BCE to 422 BCE

Cleon (died 422 BCE) is an Athenian statesman and a strategos during the Peloponnesian War.

He is the first prominent representative of the commercial class in Athenian politics, although he is an aristocrat himself.

Contemporaries Thucydides and Aristophanes represented him as a warmonger and a demagogue; modern historians provide a more balanced view.
