Metrodorus of Lampsacus, the younger (330-278 BC.), was a Greek philosopher born in Lampsacus, belonging to the school of Epicureanism. This proximity of the two philosophers is materialized by portraits Metrodorus and Epicurus gathered in the form of a Hermes. This was scanned for us by a volunteer using approximately 40 photographs.
