Timalcus was killed by Theseus while he was in the campaign with the Dioscuri against Aphidnae but this seems unbelievable as Alcman wrote a poem on the Dioscuri, in which he says that the twin sons of Zeus captured Athens and carried into captivity Aethra, mother of Theseus, but the latter himself was absent.
