Artemon of Cassandreia
Artemon (Ancient Greek: Ἀρτέμων) of Cassandreia was an ancient Macedonian grammarian, who seems to have lived after 316 BCE.
He is mentioned by Athenaeus as the author of the following works:
1. Περὶ συναγωγῆς (or, according to others, ἀναγωγῆς) Βιβλίων, which would either be on collecting books, or on assigning books to their proper authors.[1]
2. Περὶ Βιβλίων χρήσεως, or Περὶ χρήσεως τῶν περὶ τὰς συνουσίας ᾀδομένων.[2]
He is perhaps the same as the author of a work περὶ Διονυσιακοῦ συστήματος, also quoted by Athenaeus, without any distinguishing epithet.[3]
There is also a work on painters (περὶ ζωγράφων) which is ascribed to an Artemon, who may be the same author.[4] The classical scholar Johann Albert Fabricius was inclined to believe that Artemon of Cassandreia is the one of whom Demetrius speaks as the person who collected letters of Aristotle.[5]
