Heraclides of Pontus Born: 387 BC in Heraclea Pontica (now Eregli, Turkey) Died: 312 BC in Heraclea Pontica Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Main index Version for printing Heraclides of Pontus has achieved fame for a long time as the first to propose that the sun was the centre of the solar system but this has been shown to be due to a misinterpretation of what he wrote. We do have some details of Heraclides' life. His father was named Euthyphron, a wealthy man of high status from Heraclea Pontica, who was descended from one of the original founders of this Greek city on the south coast of the Black Sea. Heraclides attended the Academy in Athens and was left in charge of it during Plato 's third visit to Sicily in 360 BC. Although in some sense he was a pupil of Plato , he also studied with Aristotle and with Speusippus who was Plato 's successor as head of the Academy . When Speusippus died in 339 BC there was an election for the new leader despite Xenocrates having been chosen to head the Academy by Speusippus. It was a close battle between

Return to The Worlds of David Darling INDEX LATEST NEWS ARCHIVE ... Z entire Web this site Heraclides of Pontus (c. 388-c. 315 B.C.) A Greek philosopher who was the first to suggest that the rotation of Earth would account for the apparent rotation of the stars. Until fairly recently, it was believed that, although Heraclides argued for a geocentric universe, he suggested that Mercury and Venus orbited the Sun. ( Heliocentric theories were rejected at the time of Heraclides because it was believed that Earth's rotation would cause falling bodies to be deflected westward.) However, D. C. Lindberg (Chicago, 1992) has produced many references to indicate that Heraclides's theories never espoused heliocentrism. GREEK ASTRONOMY BACK TO TOP var site="s13space1234"

Heraclides Ponticus Some think that the earth remains at rest. But Philolaus the Pythagorean believes that, like the sun and moon, it revolves around the fire in an oblique circle. Heraclides of Pontus and Ecphantus the Pythagorean make the earth move, not in a progressive motion, but like a wheel in rotation from west to east around its own center Plutarch Moralia, ca. 100 AD. Heraclides Ponticus (387 - 312 BC), also known as Heraklides, was a Greek philosopher who lived and died at Heraclea, now Eregli, Turkey. He has frequently been hailed as the originator of the heliocentric theory. Though this is now generally doubted, he did anticipate the thinking of later astronomers. Heraclides' father was Euthyphron, a wealthy nobleman who sent him to study at the Academy in Athens under its founder Plato and under his successor Speusippus , though he also studied with Aristotle . According to the Suda, Plato, on his departure for Sicily in 360 BC, left his pupils in the charge of Heraclides. Speusippus, before his death in 339 BC, had chosen Xenocrates as his successor but Xenocrates narrowly triumphed in an ensuing election against Heraclides and Menedemus.
