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.
