Lampon (Ancient Greek: Λάμπων) was an Athenian soothsayer and interpreter of dreams and oracles. Together with Xenocritus he founded the colony of Thurii in Italy at 444 BC or 443 BC.[1] He was called "the expounder".[2] His father most probably was Olympiodorus.[3] Diodorus Siculus wrote about how the colony has been established.[4]

Cratinus satirized him in his comedy Δραπετίδες. Aristophanes also mentions him. Plutarch has a story of his foretelling the ascendancy of Pericles over Thucydides and his party.[5]
