Timesias, or Timesius of Clazomenae, was the first founder of the colony of Abdera in Thrace. He is praised both by Plutarch and Aelian as a wise and virtuous man. Eusebius places his colony in the 31st Ol., 656 BC. Timesias was expelled by the Thracians, but he was afterwards worshipped as a hero at Abdera by the Teians, who at a later time founded a second colony in that place. (Herod. i. 168; Plut. Reip. ger. Praccepta, p. 812, a; Aelian. V. H. xii. 9.)
