Abstract

This work by Aristarchus belongs to ancient science, which may be considered in three fields of development: ∘ mathematics, especially that focused on the geometry in Euclid’s Elements or Archimedes’ works; ∘ astronomy, understood as a science that studies all the objects observed in the sky (i.e., the fixed stars, the Sun, the Moon, and the five planets) and their (apparent) movements; and, finally,∘ ancient physics as represented by Aristotle’s works.
