Pergamos in Greek means, "Married to the tower." Pergos means "tower," Gamos means "married." Ancient Babylonian priests moved from Babylon when the Medes and Persians conquered Babylon, to Pergamos and established their much adored cultic idolatry, pagan worship, with various customs and deities. The pagan form of worship originated from the tower of Babel, thus the love of the tower of Babel was the beginning of pagan worship in Babylon, arriving in Pergamos after Persian conquest. Pergamos was to represent everything the original cultic priests in the City of Babel envisioned and instituted. Greek mythology and Roman Imperial cultic worship influenced this pagan city of idolatry in later times.

Did the church at Pergamos have the synagogue of Satan?

The passage in Revelation that discusses Pergamos and Satan has been interpreted thus, but the words "synagogue of Satan" does not appear anywhere in the Bible, and the interpretation that such a place was in Pergamos as a physical structure is ludicrous and simplistic.The passage used to support the claim is Revelation 2:12-17: (from the KJV)12And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;13I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.14But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.15So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.16Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.17He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.The message is largely metaphorical in reference to Satan.
