Alcibiades leads his troops past Timon’s hideout in the wilderness, prompting a barrage of insults and mockery from the malcontent. But when Timon learns Alcibiades is planning to take over Athens, he gives him gold to support the campaign. Alcibiades is followed by the Poet and Painter, who Timon turns away with another barrage of insults. When thieves come to rob him, Timon cheers them on, baffling their efforts and sending them to the city to sow chaos in the streets. The Senators are the last to arrive. Flavia heads them off in an effort to win Timon over to their side before they meet.

Timon leaves Athens with his curses, strips himself bare and goes into the wilderness. As hunger sets in, he digs for a root to eat and discovers a pile of gold hidden underground. Apemantus finds Timon lamenting his fate and scolds him for being an undeserving misanthrope, telling him to come back to Athens. Timon refuses, setting off an argument between them. Apemantus finally leaves Timon and returns to Athens, where the citizens are growing increasingly unruly over the high taxes and prices they’re paying as Alcibiades launches his offensive against the city. When Apemantus announces that he’s found Timon with a trove of coins, the Artist, the Painter and the Senators head for the hills to get some of Timon’s gold.

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.
