[ FirstLight Astronomy Club ] The Skies Above conon of samos, a Greek astronomer, discovered what had happened. ApparentlyAphrodite was so appreciative of Berenice s sacrifice that she put her hair up http://www.firstlightastro.com/archives/2002/04/slip_into_a_com.html
Extractions: Looking for something? Main If you find yourself this week enjoying spring's planetary alignment in the early evening's western skies, I have a suggestion: While you're at it, slip into a coma. One of the least appreciated constellations but one of great interest to astronomers is Coma Berenices, located next to well-known Leo the Lion. About nine o'clock tonight face south and look almost directly up. You'll see something that looks like a backwards question mark. That is the head and mane of a regal Leo the Lion stalking bright Jupiter as it leads him into the horizon. A little to the east (left) of Leo's head is the rest of the lion's body which includes the very bright Denebola. Denebola marks the Lion's loin - his hindquarters. If the night is clear and moonless you'll see a dim cluster of stars almost as far up and to the left of Denebola as Leo's head is up and to the right. This is the Coma Berenices Star Cluster, which when seen through a binoculars consists of thirty to forty faint stars. But how did it get there? That depends on whose story you believe.

Conon De Samos http://www.reunion.iufm.fr/recherche/irem/histoire/conon_de_samos.htm
Extractions: CONON de Samos grec, vers -250 Cet astronome et géomètre grec, contemporain et ami d'Arch i mède semble être le "père" de la spirale du même nom. Il écrivit un important traité d'astronomie dont s'inspirera Hippa r que d e Nicée. La légende raconte que la reine Bérénice, fille du roi de Cyrène, épouse de Ptolémée III le bienfaiteur, dotée d'une magnifique chevelure, en sacrifia une partie dans un temple dédié à Aphrodite, déesse de l'amour et de la fécondité. Mais cette offrande fut dérobée. Conon aurait donné à la constellation qu'il observa alors, le nom de chevelure de Bérénice , encore usité de nos jours. L'Italie actuelle

Extractions: This period marking advances in astronomy, mathematics and medicine. Hellinistic refers to the Greeks and others who lived after Alexander the Great's conquests, during which there existed a mixture of civilizations. Important schools of this period include Epicurianism, Stoiciscm , and Skeptisicm Epicurus of Samos (341-270 B.C.). Founder of the philosophical school of Epicurianism which, similar to the Atomists, believed that atoms are fundamental parts of the real world. Believed that fate was governed by laws of nature and not some mysterious gods. Straton (Lambsacus, 340-290 B.C.). Greek physicist. Conducted experiments leading him to discover that bodies accelerate when they fall. However, erroneously, he also believes that heavier bodies fall faster. Also studied the lever, but does not find it's law. His work emphasizes the use of experimentation for scientific research. Lived in Alexandria, then moved to Athens to head the Aristitle's Lyceum after Theophrastos. Zenon of Citius (4th century B.C.).

Extractions: not complete 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. Links: Anaxagoras of Clazomenae, MIT 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.
Coma Berenice Star Cluster conon from samos, a mathematician and astronomer who worked at the court, declaredto the king and his wife that the gods had placed the lost hair lock in http://www.backyard-astro.com/focusonarchive/comaberenice/comaberenice.html
Extractions: The legend tells that Berenice vowed to the gods she would offer one of her amber hair locks in the temple of Arsinoe* at Zypherium, if her husband would safely return from his military expedition. The king returned victorious in 245 BC, and Berenice cut off one of her locks and placed it in the Temple's shrine. The next day the amber hair lock had disappeared. Conon from Samos, a mathematician and astronomer who worked at the court, declared to the king and his wife that the gods had placed the lost hair lock in the heavens. It could be seen as a new constellation between Virgo and Bootes: "Coma Berenice" (Berenice's Hair).

Extractions: by Xenophon (trans by Daykns) Terms Contents Preparer's Note BOOK I ... Chapter V Chapter V [1] About 120,000 pounds. One Euboic or Attic talent = sixty minae = six thousand drachmae = 243 pounds 15 shillings of our money. [2] Cf. the language of Tissaphernes, Thuc. viii. 81. His audience thanked him for what he said, and further begged him to fix the rate of payment for the seamen at one Attic drachma per man,[3] explaining that should this rate of payment be adopted, the sailors of the Athenians would desert, and in the end there would be a saving of expenditure. Cyrus complimented them on the soundness of their arguments, but said that it was not in his power to exceed the injunctions of the king. The terms of agreement were precise, thirty minae[4] a month per vessel to be given, whatever number of vessels the Lacedaemonians might choose to maintain. [3] About 9 3/4 pence; a drachma (= six obols) would be very high pay for a sailorindeed, just double the usual amount. See Thuc. vi. 8 and viii. 29, and Prof. Jowett ad loc. Tissaphernes had, in the winter of 412 B.C., distributed one month's pay among the Peloponnesian ships at this high rate of a drachma a day, "as his envoy had promised at Lacedaemon;" but this he proposed to reduce to half a drachma, "until he had asked the king's leave, promising that if he obtained it, he would pay the entire drachma. On the remonstrance, however, of Hermocrates, the Syracusan general, he promised to each man a payment of somewhat more than three obols."
