This chapter offers a new synthesis of the history and culture of Teos in the late third and early second century BC, a period of Teian history for which sources, both epigraphic and archaeological, are unusually rich. The great Teian temple of Dionysos, designed by the architect Hermogenes, was built during this period, and relations between Teos and the Hellenistic monarchs (particularly the Seleukid king Antiochos III, and subsequently Eumenes II of Pergamon) are illuminated by a series of extraordinarily rich and complex epigraphic texts. A particular focus of the chapter is the stormy residency of the Artists of Dionysos at Teos, and the authors publish a new decree of the Artists in honour of a benefactor, recently discovered in the Teian sanctuary of Dionysos.
