Philetairos

Philetairos (/ˌfɪlɪˈtiːrəs/; bahasa Yunani Kuno: Φιλέταιρος, Philetairos, skt. 343 –263 SM) merupakan seorang pendiri Dinasti Attalidon Pergamum di Anatolia.^[1]

Koin, yang menggambarkan kepala Philetairos di Athena depan dan duduk, dewi perang dan kebijaksanaan Yunani, di baliknya, selama masa pemerintahan Eumenes I (263 SM – 241 SM)

La lahir di Tium (Bahasa Yunani: Tieion),^[2] sebuah kota kecil yang terletak di wilayah geografis Pontus Euxinus di pantai Laut Hitam Anatolia^[1] antara Bithynia ke barat dan Paflagonya ke timur. Ayahandanya Attalus (Bahasa Yunani: Attalos) adalah orang Yunani^[1] (mungkin dari Makedonia) dan ibundanya Boa berasal dari Paflagonya.^[3]

Philetairos tidak pernah menikah dan, karena ia seorang kasim, tidak memiliki keturunan.^[4] Ia mengadopsi keponakannya Eumenes I (putra saudara Philetairos yang juga bernama Eumenes), yang menggantikannya sebagai penguasa Pergamon, pada saat kematiannya pada tahun 263 SM.^[5] Kecuali Eumenes II, semua penguasa yang berlaku di masa depan menggambarkan patung Philetairos di koin mereka, memberikan penghormatan kepada pendiri dinasti mereka.
