Metropolis (Ancient Greek: Μητρόπολις) was a town in Perrhaebia in Ancient Thessaly. Stephanus of Byzantium calls it simply a town in Thessaly, distinct from its more-renowned namesake. This appears to be the Metropolis mentioned by Livy in his account of the campaign of Antiochus III, in 191 BCE, where it is related that the Syrian king having landed at Demetrias, first took Pherae, then Crannon, then Cypaera, Metropolis, and all the neighbouring fortresses, except Atrax and Gyrton, and afterwards proceeded to Larissa. From this account it would appear that this Metropolis was in Perrhaebia; and its site has been discovered by William Martin Leake, near that of Atrax, at village in the municipal unit of Lakereia, where the name of Μητροπολίτης occurs in an inscription.

- Metròpolis de Perrèbia (en grec antic Μητρόπολις) era una ciutat de Tessàlia al districte de Perrèbia, que Esteve de Bizanci anomena simplement "una ciutat de Tessàlia". Aquesta Metròpolis sembla que és la que menciona Titus Livi en el seu relat de la campanya del rei selèucida Antíoc III el gran l'any 191 aC, i diu que aquest rei va desembarcar a Demètries i va prendre Feres, després Crannon i immediatament després Cipera, Metròpolis i totes les fortaleses veïnes, a excepció d'Atrax i Girton, i després es va dirigir a Larisa.

| - Metròpolis de Perrèbia (en grec antic Μητρόπολις) era una ciutat de Tessàlia al districte de Perrèbia, que Esteve de Bizanci anomena simplement "una ciutat de Tessàlia". Aquesta Metròpolis sembla que és la que menciona Titus Livi en el seu relat de la campanya del rei selèucida Antíoc III el gran l'any 191 aC, i diu que aquest rei va desembarcar a Demètries i va prendre Feres, després Crannon i immediatament després Cipera, Metròpolis i totes les fortaleses veïnes, a excepció d'Atrax i Girton, i després es va dirigir a Larisa. Pel que explica Titus Livi s'ha deduït que la ciutat es trobava a la zona de Perrèbia, i s'ha identificat amb l'actual poblet de Kastri, prop d'Atrax, on s'ha trobat una inscripció amb el nom de Metròpolis (Μητροπολίτης).
