Athenion, the Cilician slave who in 104 BC led the second great Sicilian slave revolt with Salvius (Tryphon), establishing for some years a rival kingdom in the interior of the island before being defeated by M'. Aquilius. Cicero pairs him with Eunus and Spartacus as a paradigm of servile war (Verr. 2.3.66; 2.2.136 ironically).
