  • Agatharchos. Greek mathematician. Discovered the laws of perspectives.
  • Anaxagoras of Clazomenae (480-430 B.C.). Greek philosopher. Believed that a large number of seeds make up the properties of materials, that heavenly bodies are made up of the same materials as Earth and that the sun is a large, hot, glowing rock. Discovered that the moon reflected light and formulated the correct theory for the eclipses. Erroneously believed that the Earth was flat.

  • Anaximander (610-545 B.C.). Greek astronomer and philosopher, pupil of Thales. Introduced the apeiron (infinity). Formulated a theory of origin and evolution of life, according to which life originated in the sea from the moist element which evaporated from the sun ( On Nature ). Was the first to model the Earth according to scientific principles. According to him, the Earth was a cylinder with a north-south curvature, suspended freely in space, and the stars where attached to a sphere that rotated around Earth.

    7. Appendix: Geometry and Astronomy.
    Is it possible a reconstruction of the evolution of the earliest geometry, until Euclid? And together, also the beginning of Greek astronomy? Maybe, not. However, it is not out of place to try this enterprise at the end of these two first reports, at least to fix our ideas. There is an ancient link between discrete, music and social-ritual space organisation on the one hand, and geometry, astronomy and social-ritual time on the other hand. In the figure 11 this correspondence is roughly displayed as described in Levi-Strauss Mythologiques, in Pythagorean mathematics and in modern mathematical physics. In the following we try to outline the historical connection between geometry and astronomy in Greek culture. The whole axiomatic method is heavily indebted with the eleatic dialectics. For example many terms have dialectic roots. The distinction between axioms and postulates also can be better realised reminding this origin: axioms were linked to the reductio ad absurdum, and were used to substitute the evidence-driven demonstrations. The postulates were instead typical assumptions by which to develop an argument. Eudoxus changes radically also Greek astronomy, and opens the road ''to the search for geometrical representations of the planetary system'' (4). He assumes four concentric rotating spheres for each planet ((NEUGEBAUER 1975),677), according to Heath, I 323, ''the first attempt at a purely mathematical theory of astronomy''. This is the thorough breakdown of the ''mythological paradigm'' in its core: the sky. It becomes a part of reality, even though subjected to its peculiar laws, where however logic and mathematics, and then human reason, hold. From Meteorologica (345a) we know instead that still for some Pythagoreans the Milk-way was produced by Phaeton's catastrophe, as a burning caused by some star or from the sun. In the so-called 'Eudoxus papyrus', about 300 B.C., fixed stars move on parallel circles, whereas planets, sun and moon motion form spirals. (687)
