Shakespeare's "___ of Athens" (5)

I believe the answer is:

timon

(Other definitions for timon that I've seen before include "The Bard's Athenian" , "title role" , "Greek misanthrope in play" , "lead in Greek tragedy?" , "- - of Athens (Shakespeare)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
