Anthemous

For the modern municipality, see Anthemountas

Anthemous or Anthemus (Ancient Greek: Ἀνθεμοῦς) was a district, lake and a city of ancient Macedonia, lying to the southwest of Mygdonia. The area is first mentioned when Amyntas I of Macedon offered it to Hippias, son of Athenian tyrant Pisistratus. Hippias refused it and Iolcos as well, the Thessalian offer, as Amyntas probably did not possess Anthemous at that time, but was merely suggesting a plan of joint occupation to Hippias.

Peroidas commanded the cavalry squadron of Hetairoi from Anthemous in the campaign of Alexander.
