description: "Metrodorus of Scepsis, from the town of Scepsis in ancient Mysia, was a friend of Mithridates VI of Pontus and celebrated in antiquity for the excellence of his memory. He may be the same Metrodorus who, according to the Elder Pliny, in consequence of his hostility to the Romans, was surnamed the \"Rome-hater\" (\"Misoromæus\"). Information on Metrodorus is very scarce."
