===Return=== Eventually, around 451 BC, Cimon returned to Athens. Although he was not allowed to return to the level of power he once enjoyed, he was able to negotiate on Athens' behalf a five-year truce with the Spartans. Later, with a Persian fleet moving against a rebellious [[Cyprus]], Cimon proposed an expedition to fight the Persians. He gained Pericles' support and sailed to Cyprus with two hundred triremes of the Delian League. From there, he sent sixty ships under Admiral [[Charitimides]] to [[Ancient Egypt|Egypt]] to help the Egyptian revolt of [[Inaros II|Inaros]], in the [[Nile Delta]]. Cimon used the remaining ships to aid the uprising of the Cypriot Greek city-states.
