Metagenes (Template:Langx) 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]
