Eumenes I of Pergamon was ruler of the city of Pergamon in Asia Minor from 263 BC until his death in 241 BC¹. He was the son of Eumenes, the brother of Philetaerus, the founder of the Attalid dynasty, and Satyra, daughter of Poseidonius. As he had no children, Philetaerus adopted Eumenes to become his heir.
