	The Early Greek Astronomers - by Dr. George Pararas-Carayannis
		In the fourth century B.C., the standard-bearer of Greek cosmology was, without a doubt, Eudoxus of Cnidos, who has been called the founder of scientific astronomy.
		The theory of Eudoxus was a complex mathematical attempt to explain the motions of celestial bodies.
		Eudoxus was born in Cnidos at the year 408 B.C. He studied geometry and medicine, and became a pupil of Plato at the age of twenty-three.

	Eudoxus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Visiting Athens again, with pupils of his school, he held discussions on philosophy with Plato, who did not particularly agree with his views on the theory of ideas.
		Finally after traveling back to his home land of Cnidos, he died at the age of 53 in 355 B.C.E. He had written a book on practical astronomy, and the Eudemian Summary credits him with the authorship of the first five propositions of Book XIII of the Elements.
		Proclus says that he invented the theory of proportions explained in Book V. Archimedes credits Eudoxus with the proof by mean of a certain Lemma (perhaps Book X 1) of the propositions that any pyramid is one-third of a prism sharing a common base and altitude (Book XII 7 Cor.

	Eudoxos of Cnidus (c
		The new Cnidos was well-fortified under the direction of Eudoxos, much of it based on his knowledge of geometry and the physics of sea and stone.
		Thus I proposed in the council of engineers that a mole be constructed from the mainland to the fortified island, from which a traditional siege might be carried out.
		Once I am satisfied that their teaching is progressed sufficient for individual study, I plan to return to Cnidos to live out my remaining years.

	Praxiteles (c. 400-340 B.C.)
		The most famous work of Praxiteles, the Venus of Cnidos, was one of the great wonders of the ancient world, and created an entirely new epoch in art.
		Though some attributed the innovation to Scopas, the Aphrodite of Cnidos is the first presentation of a goddess in complete nudity of which we have certain and exact particulars.
		The extraordinary beauty of the statue, of the finest Parian marble, and the new scope that it afforded to art, may be said to have revolutionized art, and to have opened to way to make the later Greek sculpture largely consist of representatives of the nude form of woman.

		We also find another, who was a physician of Cnidos, who is mentioned by this Eudoxus, in his Circuit of the World, where he says that he used to warn people to keep constantly exercising their limbs in every kind of exercise, and their senses too.

	cnidaria
		There are four major groups of cnidarians: Anthozoa, which includes true corals, anemones, and sea pens; Cubozoa, the amazing box jellies with complex eyes and potent toxins; Hydrozoa, the most diverse group with siphonophores, hydroids, fire corals, and many medusae; and Scyphozoa, the true jellyfish.
		The name Cnidaria comes from the Greek word "cnidos", which means stinging nettle.
		Casually touching many cnidarians will make it clear how they got their name when their nematocysts eject barbed threads tipped with poison.

	Dorians - Phantis
		Many archaeologists attribute the destruction of Mycenae, a pivotal Mycenaean city, to these invading Dorians.
		Though most of the Doric invaders settled in the Peloponesse, they also settled on Rhodes and in Asia Minor, where in later times the Dorian Hexapolis (the six Dorian cities) would arise: Halicarnassus, Cos, Cnidos (Asia Minor); Lindos, Kameiros (Camiros), and Ialyssos (in Rhodes).
		These six cities would later become rivals with the Ionian cities of Asia Minor.

	Eudoxus' Method: Introduction
		This result was certainly known long before Hippocrates' day, for it is equivalent to knowing that the area of a circle is some constant times the square of its diameter, but it received its earliest proof in the literature in Euclid's Elements, the geometrical encyclopedia of its day.
		This proof has long been attributed to Eudoxus of Cnidos (408?--355?
		BCE), an accomplished philosopher, especially in mathematical astronomy (the study of the geometry of the sphere), and said to have been a student of Plato in Athens.
