Abstract The notion of ‘Greek mathematics’ is a key concept among those who teach or learn about the Western tradition and, especially, the history of science. It seems to be the field where that which used to be referred to as ‘the Greek miracle’ is at its most miraculous.

Therefore, for a long time, a historical approach that investigated the environment of these astonishing practices was not deemed necessary.
