Metrodorus (Ancient Greek: Μητρόδωρος; fl.
c. 6th century) was a Greek grammarian and mathematician, who collected mathematical epigrams which appear in the Greek Anthology.
[1] His name occurs in connection with 45 mathematical epigrams which are to be found in book 14 of the Greek Anthology.
[2] Although he may have authored some of the epigrams, it is generally accepted that he collected most of them, and some of them may predate the 5th century BC.
[1] Many of the epigrams lead to simple equations, and they are of the same type as those found in the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus (17th century BC).
