Notes (2)

1Rather than a proper name, Metapontios seems only to be the term for someone from Metaponton/Metapontum: see next note. (See e.g. Diodorus Siculus 4.67.4ff. describing mythology around the names Boiotia and Aiolis.) ↩
2Metaponton/Metapontum was in southern Italy between Tarentum and Heraclea. Barrington Atlas map 45 grid E4. ↩
