Everyone who’s anyone in Athens shows up to Timon’s banquet, reveling in the excesses of his generosity and vying for favor in his esteem. The only unwelcome guest is Apemantus, a blunt and cynical philosopher who sees through all the false flattery and pretense of the crowd. By the end of the party, Timon’s trusty servant, Flavius, begins to worry that he’s overspending his resources.
