Mene'stratus

（*Mene/stratos), artists.

1. A worthless painter, ridiculed in an epigram by Lucillius, who says that his Phaethon was only fit for the fire, and his Deucalion for the water. (Brunck, Anal. vol. ii. p. 337. No. 93; Anth. Pal. 11.213; comp. Martial, 5.53.) Nothing more is known of him, except what the epigram itself shows; namely, that he was a contemporary of Lucillius, and lived, therefore, in the time of Nero.

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
