Menecrates Of Syracuse
Menecrates of Syracuse (; grc-gre, Μενεκράτης ὁ Συρακούσιος), Magna Graecia, was the physician at the court of Philip of Macedon, 359–336 BC. He seems to have been a successful practitioner, but to have made himself ridiculous by calling himself Zeus, and assuming divine honors. He would give the names of various gods to those he successfully treated.Suda μ 602 He once wrote a letter to Philip, beginning : He was invited one day by Philip to a magnificent entertainment, where the other guests were sumptuously fed, while he himself had nothing but incense and libations, as not being subject to the human infirmity of hunger. He was at first pleased with his reception, but afterwards, perceiving the joke and finding that no more substantial food was offered him, he left the party in disgust.

Menecrates Of Tralles
Menecrates of Tralles ( el, Μενεκράτης ὁ Τραλλιανός, /məˈnɛkrətiːz/), probably born in Tralles (Asia Minor), was a Greek physician during the 1st century BC. He was captured by the Romans in one of their battles in the Middle East and later sold as a slave to Quintus Manneus. He seems to have been a successful practitioner in the Manneii family and for this reason he was set free with the name of Lucius Manneus. He was educated in Rome where he probably met Asclepiades of Bithynia. Menecrates is well known for the epigraph dug up in Massavetere, Caggiano now located in the National Archaeological Museum of Volcei (Buccino).

Tomb Of Menecrates
The Tomb of Menecrates or Monument of Menecrates is an Archaic-period cenotaph in Corfu, Greece, built around 600 BC in the ancient city of Korkyra (or Corcyra). The tomb and the funerary sculpture of a lion were discovered in 1843 during demolition works by the British army in the United States of the Ionian Islands who were demolishing a Venetian-era fortress in the site of Garitsa hill in Corfu. The tomb is dated to the sixth century BC. The sculpture is dated to the end of the seventh century BC and is one of the earliest funerary lions ever found.
