The following quote is often attributed to him. If accurate, it demonstrates that Metrodorus had a cosmological philosophy that was very advanced for the ancient world: "To consider the Earth as the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field of millet, only one grain will grow."

  • ''Of Sensations''

  • ''Against Timocrates ''

  • ''Of Magnanimity''
