Timon of Athens

Timon of Athens

Feb 17, 1577 N.S. The Historie of The Solitarie Knight

A young mand, generous with entertainment, rich gifts, and hospitality is in financial difficulties
False friends refuse him help in time of trouble
Oxford was out of favor for a short time when he separated from his wife Anne
Similarities to a letter of Oxford to Burleigh from Siena: "I have no help but of mine own, and mine is made to serve me and myself"

Oxford had been travelling from Jan 7, 1575 N.S. to April 1576 for 16 months
