Limenius of Athens is known solely as the composer of a paean and hymn to Apollo, inscribed on the Athenian Treasury at Delphi in 128/7 BCE. The inscription records that the work was performed by an Athenian chorus at the Pythian festival and identifies Limenius as its composer. No further biographical details survive.

His sole extant work is the Paean and Processional Hymn to Apollo, a fragmentary text comprising a paean followed by a processional hymn, preserved on stone at Delphi.

Limenius’s composition is one of only two complete ancient Greek musical scores to survive, providing invaluable evidence for Hellenistic musical notation, poetic form, and religious performance. The inscription is a paramount source for understanding the structure of the paean and its context within Panhellenic ritual.
