St. Simeon Metaphrastes

Symeon the Metaphrast (also referred to as Simon or Symeon the Logothete, in classicizing usage Symeon Metaphrastes) was the author of the 10-volume medieval Greek menologion, or collection of saint's lives. He lived in the second half of the 10th century and the Eastern Orthodox Church honours him as a saint, with his feast day falling on November 9.
