Metrodorus of Stratonikeia (Caria) (Greek: Μητρόδωρος τῆς Στρατονικείας) was at first a disciple of Epicureanism, but afterwards attached himself to Carneades.
It is explained by Cicero as being due to his theory that the scepticism of Carneades was merely a means of attacking the Stoics on their own ground.
Metrodorus held that Carneades was in reality a loyal follower of Plato.
Cicero speaks of him as an orator of great fire and volubility.
