Geschichte
Pergamus or Pergamos, or Pergamia or Pergamea, was a town of ancient Crete, to which a mythical origin was ascribed. According to Virgil, it was founded by Aeneas, according to Velleius Paterculus by Agamemnon, and according to Servius by the Trojan prisoners belonging to the fleet of Agamemnon. Lycurgus, the Spartan legislator, was said to have died at this place, and his tomb was shown there in the time of Aristoxenus. It is said by Servius to have been near Cydonia, and is mentioned by Pliny the Elder in connection with Cydonia. The Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax says that the Dictynnaeum stood in the territory of Pergamus.
