Meton of Athens

Meton of Athens (Greek: Μέτων ὁ Ἀθηναῖος; gen.: Μέτωνος; fl. 432 BC) was a Greek mathematician, astronomer, geometer, and engineer who lived in Athens in the 5th century BC. He is best known for calculations involving the eponymous 19-year Metonic cycle, which he introduced in 432 BC into the lunisolar Attic calendar. Euphronios says that Colonus was Meton's deme.^[1]
