	Archimedes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Archimedes was killed by a Roman soldier during the sack of Syracuse during the Second Punic War, despite orders from the Roman general Marcellus that he was not to be harmed.
		He proved that the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter is the same as the ratio of the circle's area to the square of the radius.

		armillary sphere: An instrument consisting of an arrangement of rings, all of which are circles of the same sphere, used to show the relative positions of the celestial equator, ecliptic, and other circles of the clestial sphere.
		ecliptic: The great circle formed by the intersection of the plane of the earth's orbit with the celestial sphere, or the apparent annual path of the sun in the heavens.
		quadrature: Those points or moments at which a half moon is visible.

		Hybrid couplers come in two types, 90 degree or quadrature hybrids, which include branchline couplers, Lange couplers, and overlay couplers and short-slot waveguide couplers.
		The second type of hybrid is the 180 degree hybrid, which includes the rat-race and the magic tee.
		Similar to "trap", a word used in system circles to describe many unknown phased array antenna phenomena as in "that suck out in the antenna pattern must be due to an unintended surface wave".

		Somehow, these spheres also manage to be the circles of hell from The Divine Comedy.
		Apparently, Christopher's boots are his armour, and the table around which the party is held later is the round table.
		The fact that the table is nowhere near round, is explained through Eliphas Levi's claim that a great wizard will be able to solve the quadrature of a circle.
