Ἀρτέμων ὁ Περγαμηνός
Artemon of Pergamum
1 work

Artemon of Pergamum (Ἀρτέμων ὁ Περγαμηνός) was a Hellenistic historian active in the 2nd century BCE. He lived in Pergamum, a major cultural center under the Attalid dynasty renowned for its library. No details of his personal life survive [1].

His only known work is On the Dedications at Delphi (Περὶ τῶν ἐν Δελφοῖς ἀναθημάτων). The text is lost, preserved only in fragments cited by later authors like Athenaeus in his Deipnosophistae [1][2].

Artemon’s significance lies in these fragments, which were used by later compilers as a source on offerings at the Delphic sanctuary. They provide valuable glimpses into the cultural and religious history of Delphi, representing the antiquarian tradition of cataloguing notable objects at Panhellenic sites [1][2].
