Artemon of Pergamum on Pindar's Odes

1 work

Artemon of Pergamum was a Hellenistic historian active in the 2nd century BCE. He lived in Pergamum, a major cultural centre under the Attalid dynasty renowned for its library. No details of his personal life survive.

His only known work is On the Dedications at Delphi. The text is lost, preserved only in fragments cited by later authors like Athenaeus in his Deipnosophistae. Later compilers used these fragments as a source on offerings at the Delphic sanctuary. They preserve glimpses of the cultural and religious history of Delphi, representing the antiquarian tradition of cataloguing notable objects at Panhellenic sites.
