== Etymology ==

This comma was named after {{w|Eratosthenes}}, the Ancient Greek polymath. According to an analysis by [[Joseph Monzo]], Eratosthenes made use of this comma by employing "standard" [[3-limit]] pitches in his diatonic genus, but substituting 19-limit ratios which are very close by in pitch in his chromatic and enharmonic genera.<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_26618.html Yahoo! Tuning Group | ''ratios in ancient Greek tetrachords (was: Byzantine and Serb Church Music)'']</ref>
