Description

Archytas of Tarentum stands as one of the three most significant philosophers in the Pythagorean tradition, renowned for his groundbreaking mathematical achievements and influential political leadership of a powerful Greek city-state. This comprehensive 2005 study by Cambridge University Press represents the first extensive scholarly enquiry into Archytas' complete body of work, offering original texts, English translations, and detailed commentary for all known fragments of his writings. Discover how this remarkable ancient thinker solved the famous problem of doubling the cube, revolutionised music theory, and demonstrated his commitment to philosophy when he famously sent a trireme to rescue Plato from the tyranny of Dionysius II in 361 BC. This definitive academic work combines rigorous historical analysis with accessible scholarship, making it an essential resource for anyone studying ancient philosophy, Pythagorean tradition, mathematics history, or classical Greek civilisation.
