Micon the Younger of Athens, simply Micon or Mikon (Ancient Greek: Μίκων) was an ancient Greek painter and sculptor from the middle of the 5th century BC.[1][2] He was closely associated with Polygnotus of Thasos, in conjunction with whom he adorned the Stoa poikile (“Painted Portico”), at Athens, with paintings of the Battle of Marathon and other battles.[3] He also painted in the Anakeion at Athens. His daughter was the painter Timarete.
