Demetrius Triclinius (
Greek: Δημήτριος Τρικλίνιος; b.
c. 1300), a native of
Thessalonica, was a
Byzantine scholar who edited and analyzed the metrical structure of many texts from ancient Greece, particularly those of
Aeschylus,[1]Sophocles and
Euripides. He is often compared favorably with two contemporary annotators of ancient Greek texts,
Thomas Magister and
Manuel Moschopulus. He also had knowledge of astronomy.
