Androetas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Androetas (Ancient Greek: Ἀνδροίτας) of Tenedos was a geographer of ancient Greece of uncertain date. He was the author of a work The Circumnavigation of Marmara (Περίπλους τῆς Προποντίδος), which was referenced by the scholiast on Apollonius of Rhodes.[1][2] This work is now lost, and nothing more is known of him.
