Metagenes

For the ancient Athenian writer, see Metagenes (poet).

Metagenes (Greek: Μεταγένης) was a man in ancient Crete, son of the Cretan architect Chersiphron, and was also an architect himself.^[1]

He was co-architect, along with his father, of the construction of the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus,^[1] one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.^[2]

The architect's name is recalled in Vitruvius's De architectura.^[3]
