Who he was
Archimedes of Syracuse, in Sicily, is counted among the greatest mathematicians of the ancient world. He worked out the area of a circle and the volume of a sphere, came close to the value of pi and found the law of floating bodies.
He is said to have built war machines that held off the Roman siege of Syracuse for two years. When the city fell in 212 BC, a Roman soldier killed him, to the grief of the general Marcellus.
