		(4) Eudemus ascribes to them the discovery of the theorem that the interior angles of a triangle are equal to two right angles, and gives their proof, which was substantially the same as that in Euclid I. 32 6 (ibid.
		Hence the statements of Iamblichus concerning Hippasus (9)—that he divulged the sphere with the twelve pentagons—and of Lucian and the scholiast on Aristophanes (1o)—that the pentagram was used as a symbol of recognition amongst the Pythagoreans—become of greater importance.
		It is commonly assumed that Pythagoras was led to this theory from the consideration of the isosceles right-angled triangle.

	Peripatetics - LoveToKnow 1911
		Aristotle's immediate successors,' Theophrastus and Eudemus of Rhodes, were diligent scholars rather than original thinkers.
		The tendency of Eudemus, on the other hand, is more towards the theological or Platonic side of Aristotle's.
		And this supplies Eudemus with a standard for the determination of the mean by reason, which Aristotle demanded, but himself left vague.

	Eudemus van Rhodos - Wikipedia
		Eudemus werd geboren op het eiland Rhodos, maar bracht een groot deel van zijn leven door in Athene, waar hij zich in de filosofie bekwaamde in de Peripatetische School van Aristoteles.
		Eudemus verrichtte ook wel origineel onderzoek, maar zijn kracht lag toch vooral in de systematisering en een uitgekiende didactische presentatie van Aristoteles' ideeëngoed.
		Daaraan danken wij dat, hoewel Eudemus' werk zelf niet is overgeleverd, wij wel veel citaten uit zijn werk en getuigenissen erover kennen, waaruit we ons een beeld van hem kunnen vormen.

	Eudemus of Rhodes
		Building upon those data we can reconstruct quite accurately the astronomical discoveries that were made in Greece between 600 and 350 BC, as well as the theories that were developed in that period regarding the earth, solar and lunar eclipses, the movements of the heavenly bodies, etcetera.
		To Eudemus is also ascribed a book with miraculous stories about animals and their humanlike properties (braveness, ethical sensitivity, and the like).
		However, as the character of this work does not at all fit in with the serious scientific approach that is apparent from Eudemus's other works, it is generally held that Eudemus of Rhodos cannot have been the author of this book.

	Eudemus
		Simplicius informs us that a biography of Eudemus was written by Damas, who is unknown but for this reference, but sadly no trace of this biography has been found.
		Eudemus was born on Rhodes and we know that he had a brother called Boethus.
		Some works by Eudemus are harder to identify with Eudemus of Rhodes and may have been written by others with the same name.

		Thus, for instance, Eudemus and his contemporaries and fellow-disciples, Theophrastus and Phanias, wrote works with the same titles and on the same subjects as those of 4-ristotle.
		Eudemus, however, is of most importance to us as an editor of and commentator upon the Aristotelian writings.
		Simplicius has preserved a passage of the work of Andronicus of Rhodes on Aristotle and his writings, which contains a fragment of a letter of Eudemus, which he wrote to Theophrastus, asking for an accurate copy of a manuscript of the fifth book of the Aristotelian Physics.

	Eudemus biography
		To say that Eudemus was not an original mathematician may be fair but just a little harsh, for we do know through Proclus that he wrote an original mathematical work called On the Angle.
		We are fortunate therefore that much of the knowledge that Eudemus had of the history of Greek mathematics before Euclid (it had to be before Euclid given the dates when Eudemus was writing) has reached us despite the fact that he book has not.
		But for Eudemus we might not have had access to the works of Aristotle for he used his own lecture notes, Aristotle's lecture notes and recollections from memory to produce volumes of Aristotle's work fit for publication.

	THE THEOGONIES.
		But the cosmogony which is delivered by the Peripatetic Eudemus as being the theology of Orpheus, passes the whole Intelligible order in silence, as altogether ineffable and unknown, and incapable of discussion or explanation.
		Orpheus also in his rhapsodies has adopted a very similar disposition, for he places the Earth for the first, being the first that was conglomerated into a compact and essential substance, while he places Tartarus as the middle, as having already, in a manner, a tendency towards disunion.
		In which case Oulomus himself would be the Intelligible Mind, and the expanding Chousorus the first order after the Intelligible, and the Egg Heaven: for it is said, that by the rupture of it into two parts heaven and earth were produced each from one of its two severed parts.

		Eudemus studied under, and became close friends with, Aristotle (384-322 B.C.).
		Though these books have been lost, much of what they contained was passed on to other ancient writers, and collectively they constitute a principal source of information on numerous ancient thinkers and their achievements.
		Also highly significant is the fact that Eudemus kept notes on his great mentor's classes, thus preserving much of Aristotle's teaching.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.11.10
		Eudemus was "a worthy professor battling to instill the rudiments of Aristotelian philosophy into an undistinguished group of students" (36).
		Inevitably, some 350 pages of studies on such a recognisable academic predecessor do not make for exciting reading, but, when like these offerings they are the work of experienced scholars, they result in welcome reexaminations of the relevant evidence on biography, on bibliography, and on philosophy and science and its history in antiquity.
		In conclusion, anyone interested in Eudemus, the Aristotelian tradition in antiquity, and the transmission of some key evidence on ancient science, must consult this volume.

	20th WCP: Aristotle's Psychology: The Traditional (hylomorphistic) Interpretation Refuted
		It is an understatement to say that the state of the modern debate about Aristotle's theory of the soul is a rather confused one.
		There is undeniable information that he talked there about man's death as a 'return home' of the human soul and that he gave arguments supporting the conviction that the soul continues to exist after the death of the individual.
		The substantial unity of the soul as formative principle and its instrumental sooma is illustrated in the following section of De anima by the striking examples of an organon, an axe, and an organikon meros, an eye.

		Aristotle's successors in his school, the Peripatos, notably Theophrastus and Eudemus, widened the scope of deductive inference and improved some aspects of Aristotle's logic.
		In the Hellenistic period, and apparently independent of Aristotle's achievements, the logicians Diodorus Cronus and his pupil Philo (see the entry Dialectical school) worked out the beginnings of a logic that took propositions, rather than terms, as its basic elements.
		He studied logic with both Peripatetic and Stoic teachers, and recommended to avail oneself of parts of either doctrine, as long as it could be used for scientific demonstration.
