 Polemon (general) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Polemon (in Greek Πoλεμων; lived 4th century BC), son of Andromenes the Stymphaean, was a Macedonian officer in the service of Alexander the Great (336–323 BC).
In the disputes that followed the death of Alexander (323 BC), Polemon, like his brother Attalus, distinguished himself as a warm partisan of Perdiccas.
In order to conciliate the favour of the regent, he endeavoured, though ineffectually, to prevent Arrhidaeus from transporting the body of the deceased monarch to Egypt.

Of Athens by citizenship, but by birth either of Ilium, or Samos, or Sicyon, a Stoic philosopher and an eminent geographer, surnamed 6 irepi-777771-975, was the son of Euegetes, and a contempo­rary of Aristophanes of Byzantium, in the time of Ptolemy Epiphanes, at the beginning of the second century b.c.
The only extant work of Polemon is the funeral orations for Cynaegeirus and Callimachus, the ge­nerals who fell at Marathon, which are supposed to be pronounced by their fathers, each extolling his own son above the other.

 The Comedies of Menander
Glykera can only marry as a citizen, and since she is believed to not have been freeborn, she must content herself with being Polemon's mistress, rather than his wife.
Polemon himself is "a native-born Corinthian" (129), and thus not a citizen of Athens either.
When it discovered than Glykera was freeborn, her union with Polemon creates a unity between the citizen and the non-citizen.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2006.02.38
Polemon (1.5; 2.5-6) states that Miltiades and Kallimachos, the latter a strategos and hegemon, led the whole army to Marathon, where (1.28; 2.2, 6-8) they met the whole of Dareios' army.
Thus, by his acceptance of Polemon's account, S. has bestowed on Marathon three battles: that of Kallimachos, that of Kynegeiros, and finally Miltiades'.
While Polemon has Kallimachos die early in the battle, Herodotos (6.114) describes his heroic death in the assault on the Persian ships at the end of the battle.

However, we can reasonably assume that Amyntas was the eldest, as he was the taxiarch of his regional battalion of pezhetairoi — such a position as one might reasonably expect to be held by the eldest son.
Amyntas was known to have been friendly with Philotas, and had been educated with Amyntas son of Perdiccus (Alexander’s cousin, executed 336); and there were enough people suddenly prepared to come forward with tales that might have caused problems for the brothers.
However, Polemon returned at that point (either of his own volition, or having been captured by a patrol, depending on which source you read), and offered himself up for justice.

He did this with a view to those who were to arrest him, lest any be given to suspect that they were being induced to eat forbidden foods as the others were, but rather that all should know that theywere determined to be led off to prison forthwith.
It was Saturday and after they had prayed and taken the sacred bread with water, Polemon the temple verger came in on them with his men in order to seek out the Christians and drag them off to offer sacrifice and to taste forbidden meats.
After this, however, efforts were made to free her from her bonds and from Politta, and since for the most part she lived with Pionius, she was captured in the present persecution.

 H-Net Review: Helen Parkins on Making Men: Sophists and Self-Presentation in Ancient Rome
As the title suggests, self-presentation and construction of manhood are explored through the sphere of sophistry, and in particular through the careers of Polemon of Laodicea and Favorinus of Arelate.
Elite acculturation through rhetoric, traditionally a means of separating the elite from the impostors, became a specific focus for this realisation, and entered the domain of conscious discourse.
In this analysis, Favorinus and Polemon are bound together: Favorinus as the outsider-eunuch, but brilliant sophist-philosopher, whose attraction lay in both his sexual ambiguity and his self-fashioning through rhetorical, supposedly masculine methods; and Polemon, as the equally dazzling sophist, whose impact relied both on his own masculinity and his revelation of others'--particularly Favorinus's--sexuality.

Nero, who ruled Rome between 54 and 68 A.D, launched a campaign to establish Roman influence in Eastern Anatolia, using Trabzon as a base which could satisfy the needs of his army.
With this aim in mind, Nero removed Polemon II, son of Polemon I from his throne and divided Pontos Polemiacus into six cities, annexing Trabzon in 64 A.D. Tacitus, one of the leading historians of the period, stated that it was vital to maintain control of Trabzon.
After Trabzon had been annexed to Rome, Polemon's fleet, which was anchored in Trabzon, became the Black Sea Fleet of the Kingdom of Rome.
