Cyprus and Death of Cimon
Cimon laid siege to the Persian stronghold of Citium on the southwest coast of Cyprus; however, the siege failed and Cyprus remained under Phoenician (and Persian) control. It was during this siege that Cimon either died or was killed. He was later buried in Athens where a monument was erected in his memory.
