Cleon

Cleon (; Kleon, ; died 422 BCE) was an Athenian general during the Peloponnesian War. He was the first prominent representative of the commercial class in Athenian politics, although he was an aristocrat himself. His contemporaries Thucydides and Aristophanes represented him as a warmonger and a demagogue.

Cléon is a commune in the Seine-Maritime department in the Upper Normandy region in northern France.
