Archytas, Ancient Greek Polymath
Archytas (428-347 BC), Ancient Greek philosopher, mathematician, astronomer, statesman, and strategist. He was a scientist of the Pythagorean school and famous for being the reputed founder of mathematical mechanics, as well as a good friend of Plato. He was reputed to have designed and built the first artificial, self-propelled flying device, a bird-shaped model propelled by a jet of what was probably steam, said to have actually flown over 650 feet. The Tarentines elected him strategos (general) seven years in a row, a step that required them to violate their own rule against successive appointments. He was allegedly undefeated as a general. In his public career, Archytas had a reputation for virtue. Engraving from The History of Philosophy by Thomas Stanley published in three successive volumes between 1655 and 1661.
