Micon

Greek painter
Years: 500BCE - 430BCE

Micon the Younger of Athens is an ancient Greek painter and sculptor from the middle of the 5th century BCE.

He is closely associated with Polygnotus of Thasos, in conjunction with whom he adorns the Stoa poikile ("Painted Portico"), at Athens, with paintings of the Battle of Marathon and other battles.

He also paints in the Anaceum at Athens.

His daughter is the painter, Timarete, who, according to Pliny the Elder, "scorned the duties of women and practiced her father's art.”
