Pergamon (disambiguation)
Pergamon is an ancient Greek city in modern Turkey. Pergamon may also refer to:
Attalid dynasty
In the interior of the Pergamon Altar there is a frieze depicting the life of Telephus, son of Herakles. The ruling dynasty associated Telephus with its city and used him to claim descent from the Olympians. Pergamon, having entered the Greek world much later than its counterparts to the west, could not boast the same divine heritage as older city-states and so had to cultivate its place in Greek mythology retroactively.
