Metagenes

Metagenes was a Cretan architect of the sixth century BCE, the son of Chersiphron of Knossos, with whom he built the archaic Temple of Artemis at Ephesus. According to Vitruvius he devised a way of moving the temple's heavy architrave blocks by setting them inside large wooden wheels drawn by oxen, and he wrote with his father a treatise on the temple.
