Timasitheus (gr. Timasitheos), an athlete of Delphi, who conquered several times in the pancratium at the Olympic and Pythian games, and was also distinguished as a brave soldier. He was one of the partisans of the Athenian Isagoras, when he seized the Acropolis, with the help of Cleomenes. The citadel was besieged by the Athenians, and Timasitheus was one of those who fell into their hands, and were put to death. Pausanias mentions his statue at Olympia, the work of Ageladas, the Argive.
