A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology

(Πολέμων), the author of a short Greek work on Physiognomy, which is still extant. Nothing is known of the events of his life, but from some expressions that he uses (e. g. the word εἰδωλόθυτος, 1.6. p. 197) it has been supposed that he was a Christian. With respect to his date it can only be stated that he must have lived in or before the third century after

Christ, as he is mentioned by Origen (Cont. Cels. 1.33. p.351, ed. Bened.), and from his style he cannot be supposed to have lived much earlier than this time.
