Description: (Greek astronomer)
Eudoxus of Cnidus, an ancient Greek astronomer, mathematician, doctor, and lawmaker, was a student of Archytas and Plato. While his original works are lost, fragments are preserved in Hipparchus' Commentaries on the Phenomena of Aratus and Eudoxus. The work "Spherics" by Theodosius of Bithynia is thought to be influenced by Eudoxus' teachings. Eudoxus made significant contributions to astronomy, mathematics, and law, leaving a lasting impact on these fields through his teachings and writings.
