Euclid was born about 365 BC in Alexandria, Egypt and died about 300 BC.
Euclid was best known for his treatise on geometry (The Elements). The long
lasting nature of The Elements must make Euclid the leading mathematician of
all time. But little is known of Euclid's life except that he taught at Alexandria in
Egypt. The Elements Euclid's most famous work is his treatise on geometry called The Elements. The book was a compilation of geometrical knowledge that became the centre of mathematical teaching for 2000 years. Probably no results in The Elements were first proved by Euclid but the organization of the material and its exposition are certainly due to him.

http://www.benthamlinks.com/epicurus/britannica.htm
EPICURUS Excerpted from the 1911 edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica www.BenthamLinks.com/Epicurus The mode of life in his community was plain. The general drink was water and the food barley bread; half a pint of wine was held an ample allowance. “ Send me,” says ‘Epicurus to a correspondent, “send me some Cythnian cheese, so that, should I choose, I may fare sumptuously.” There was no community of property, which, as Epicurus said, would imply distrust of their own and others’ good resolutions. The company was held in unity by the charms of his personality, and by the free intercourse which he inculcated and exemplified. Though he seems to have had a warm affection for his countrymen, it was as human beings brought into contact with him, and not as members of a political body, that he preferred to regard them. He never entered public life. His kindliness extended even to his slaves, one of whom, named Mouse, was a brother in philosophy. Physics.—In the Epicurean physics there are two parts—a general metaphysic and psychology, and a special explaflation of particular phenomena of nature. The method of Epicurus is the argument of analogy. It is an attempt to make the phenomena of nature intelligible to us by regarding them as instances on a grand scale of that with which we are already familiar on a small scale. This is what Epicurus calls explaining what we do not see by what we do see. The attitude of Epicurus in this whole matter is antagonistic to science. The idea of a systematic enchainment of phenomena, in which each is conditioned by every other, and none can be taken in isolation and explained apart from the rest, was foreign to his mind. So little was the scientific conception of the solar system familiar to Epicurus that he could reproach the astronomers, because their account of an eclipse represented things otherwise than as they appear to the senses, and could declare that the sun and stars were just as large as they seemed to us.

Diogenes Laertius
Lives of the Philosophers VII: Zeno the Stoic (extract)
VII. Accordingly, for the future, men came thither to hear him, and from this his pupils were called Stoics, and so were his successors also, who had been at first called Zenonians, as Epicurus tells us in his Epistles. And before this time, the poets who frequented this colonnade ( stoa ) had been called Stoics, as we are informed by Eratosthenes, in the eighth book of his treatise on the Old Comedy; but now Zeno's pupils made the name more notorious. Now the Athenians had a great respect for Zeno, so that they gave him the keys of their walls, and they also honoured him with a golden crown, and a brazen statue; and this was also done by his own countrymen, who thought the statue of such a man an honour to their city. And the Cittiaeans, in the district of Sidon, also claimed him as their countryman. VIII. He was also much respected by Antigonus, who, whenever he came to Athens, used to attend his lectures, and was constantly inviting him to come to him. But he begged off himself, and sent Persaeus, one of his intimate friends, who was the son of Demetrius, and a Cittiaean by birth, and who flourished about the hundred and thirtieth olympiad, when Zeno was an old man. The letter of Antigonus to Zeno was as follows, and it is reported by Apollonius, the Syrian, in his essay on Zeno. KING ANTIGONUS TO ZENO THE PHILOSOPHER, GREETING.

    http://www.mat.ucm.es/deptos/am/guzman/pagjor/euclides.htm
    Los Elementos comienza con axiomas, incluyendo el famoso quinto axioma de Euclides, que postula que solamente se puede dibujar una linea a traves de un punto que sea paralela a otra linea. La decision de Euclides de hacer de este un axioma llevo a la generacion de la geometria Euclidiana. No fue sino hasta el siglo XIX cuando este axioma fue derribado y otras geometrias no euclidianas empezaron a ser estudiadas. Euclides pudo no haber sido un matematico de primera clase pero la importancia de su obra lo convierte en el maestro de los matematicos de todos los tiempos.

    § 39. Epikur und seine Schule.
    Leben. Epikur, im Jahre 341 als Sohn eines athenischen Schullehrers anscheinend auf der Insel Samos geboren, genoß eine unregelmäßige Jugendbildung, hörte später zu Athen Philosophen verschiedener Richtung, besonders den Demokriteer Nausiphanes, und bezeichnete sich anfangs auch selbst als Anhänger Demokrits. 306 gründete er in seinem Garten - daher der Name »Gartenphilosophen« ( hoi apo' tôn kêpôn ) - seine eigene Schule, die er bis zu seinem Tode 270 leitete. Mit den Studien war in dieser Genossenschaft, der auch Frauen angehörten, ein heiter- geselliger Ton verbunden, entsprechend der liebenswürdigen Persönlichkeit ihres Stifters, dessen sittlichen Charakter seine Gegner - und ihm folgend das ganze christliche Mittelalter - mit Unrecht verdächtigt haben.

    Euclides
    E uclides é o mais proeminente matemático da antigüidade, mais conhecido pelo seu tratado de Geometria "Os Elementos". A natureza perene de "Os Elementos" deve fazer de Euclides o maior professor de Matemática de todos os tempos.
    P ouco se sabe sobre a vida de Euclides, exceto que ele lecionou em Alexandria, no Egito.
    O trabalho mais famoso de Euclides, como já se disse, é o seu tratado de geometria "Os Elementos". O livro foi uma compilação do conhecimento geométrico que se tornou o centro do ensino de Matemática por 2000 anos. Provavelmente nenhum dos resultados de "Os Elementos" foram demonstradas primeiramente por ele, mas a organização do material e sua exposição certamente devemos a ele.
    O livro "Os Elementos" começa pela definição dos axiomas, incluindo o quinto postulado (ou "das paralelas") que diz que "uma e apenas uma linha pode ser traçada através de um ponto paralela de uma determinada linha". A decisão de Euclides de tornar esta definição em um axioma levou ao surgimento da Geometria Euclidiana. Somente no século XIX este axioma foi posto de lado e a geometria não-euclidiana começou a ser estudada.
    Z eno de Sidon, cerca de 250 anos após Euclides ter escrito "Os Elementos", parece ter sido o primeiro a demonstrar que as proposições de Euclides não eram deduzidas a partir dos axiomas isoladamente, e que Euclides fez outras descobertas significativas.
