(Μάτρων), of Pitana, a celebrated writer of parodies upon Homer, often quoted by Eustathius and Athenaeus. (Eustath. ad Hom. pp. 1067, 1571, &c.; Ath. i. p. 5a., p. 31b., xv. p. 699e., &c.)
He was probably a contemporary of Hegemon of Thasos. about the end of the fifth and the beginning of the fourth centuries B. C., but at all events he cannot be placed later than the time of Philip of Macedon. Athenaeus calls him Ματρέας in some places, but this is clearly an error of the transcriber.
