There is another reference in the Suda Lexicon (a work of a 10 th century Greek lexicographer) which states that Menaechmus was (see for example [1]):- ... a Platonic philosopher of Alopeconnesus, or according to some of Proconnesus, who wrote works of philosophy and three books on Plato 's Republic... Alopeconnesus and Proconnesus are quite close, the first in Thrace and the second in the sea of Marmara, and both are not far from Cyzicus where Menaechmus's teacher Eudoxus worked. The dates for Menaechmus are consistent with his being a pupil of Eudoxus but also they are consistent with an anecdote told by Stobaeus writing in the 5 th century AD. Stobaeus tells the rather familiar story which has also been told of other mathematicians such as

Conic Sections : Apollonius and Menaechmus Michael Lahanas Kegelschnitte: Apollonius und Menaechmus (Draws on the board) Let us consider the parabola. Where do we find it in nature? Gerald Everett Jones Hypatia of Alexandria A conic section (red curve) is the result of an intersection between a cone and a plane. Depending on the angle of intersection, the result can be a hyperbola, parabola, circle, or ellipse. It is Apollonius of Perga (Απολλώνιος ο Περγαίος ) (about 262 BC - about 190 BC), a Greek geometer, who is usually considered the inventor of the conic sections that leads to the circle, ellipse, parabola and hyperbola that are the possible trajectories of a body in a gravitational field (At least if we ignore some relativistic effects). Apollonius is known as the "Great Geometer" based on his work Conics (Conic secions) , an eight-"book" series on the subject. As he writes ..... I undertook the investigation of this subject at the request of Naucrates the geometer, at the time when he came to Alexandria and stayed with me

The Temple of Artemis in Ephesus was destroyed by Herostratus in order to become famous. The legend says that Artemis did not protect her temple, because she wanted to be present at the birth of Alexander the Great which took place that same night.

It is funny to think that a small insect killed Alexander the Great and probably so changed the history of mankind. The Macedonians were considered a kind of semi-barbarians by the other Greeks, but finally Alexander helped to expand the Greek civilization that was already weak after so many wars. The idea of the young King to punish the Persians among other things for the destruction of Athens by Xerxes and probably more important to conquer the entire World. All mortals should live like one, united, and peacefully working towards the common good. You should regard the whole world as your country, a country where the best govern, with common laws, and no racial distinctions. I do not separate people, as many narrow-minded others do. I am not interested in the origin or race of citizens; I only distinguish them on the basis of their virtue. For my part, I consider all, whether they be white or black, equal.
