Timoleon of Corinth lived from approximately 411-337 BC. He was a Greek statesman and general most know for championing the Greeks of Sicily against Carthage. At an early age, Timoleon saved Timophanes’ life (his brother). Timophanes shortly after gained control of the acropolis of Corinth and called himself the ruler of the city. Timoleon was not a fan of his brother’s tyranny, thus leading him to become an accomplice in his assassination. Many people of the city of Corinth agreed with Timoleon’s opinion of his brother and believed that the assassination was to be seen as heroic. However, his immediate family tended to disagree. His mother especially was noted for her cursing of his indignities.
