Archimedes
Archimedes, Greek mathematician, physicist, inventor, engineer, and astronomer. Born in Syracuse, Sicily, he is said to have invented the Archimedean screw pump while studying in Alexandria, which is still in use in Egypt today. During the Second Punic War, the Roman Republic besieged Syracuse, and Archimedes died at the hands of Roman soldiers.
