Archimedes (285–212 B.C.) was a Greek inventor and mathematician.
Look at that very marvelous piece of organic mechanism invented by Archimedes. I am referring to his hydraulic organ, with its many limbs, parts, bands, passages for the notes, outlets for their sounds, combinations for their harmony, and the array of its pipes. Tertullian (c. 210, W), 3.193.
Archimedes of Sicily was able to construct a likeness and representation of the universe in hollow brass. He arranged the sun and moon, just as they appear every day. . . . That sphere, while it revolved, demonstrated not only the rising and setting of the sun and the increase and diminishing of the moon, but also the unequal courses of the stars. Lactantius (c. 304–313, W), 7.48.
