Since early antiquity, the important question of philosophy and astronomy was, what occupies the center of the known world. According to the geocentric system, in accordance with the anthropocentric view, the Earth lies at the center of the world. For centuries this was the dominant theory, supported by the majority of philosophers and astronomers. However, the Ancient Greek world was also the cradle of the opposite view, the heliocentric theory of Aristarchus of Samos (c.310 -230 BC), which is generally credited to be the first to postulate a non-geocentric system. But, centuries before him, seeds of the heliocentric theory can be traced back to the Orphic Hymns and to the teachings of Anaximander and the Pythagoreans. Here, the evolution of the heliocentric theory of Antiquity will be analyzed and discussed from the first mention of it in the Orphic Hymns. The theory was further advanced by the Pythagoreans, especially the “pyrocentric” system with a central fire, of Philolaus of Croton. Also contributing to the heliocentric theory were the views and ideas of Icetas, Ecphantus, Heraclides of Pontos, Anaximander, Seleucus of Seleucia, and finaly of

Eudoxus of Cnidus
Greek astronomer and mathematician (c.390–c.340 BC)
Not to be confused with Eudoxus of Cyzicus.
Eudoxus of Cnidus (; Ancient Greek: Εὔδοξος ὁ Κνίδιος, Eúdoxos ho Knídios; c. 390 – c. 340 BC) was an ancient Greekastronomer, mathematician, doctor, and lawmaker.[1] He was a student of Archytas and Plato. All of his original works are lost, though some fragments are preserved in Hipparchus' Commentaries on the Phenomena of Aratus and Eudoxus.[2]Spherics by Theodosius of Bithynia may be based on a work by Eudoxus.
Life
[edit]Eudoxus, son of Aeschines, was born and died in Cnidus (also transliterated Knidos), a city on the southwest coast of Anatolia.[3] The years of Eudoxus' birth and death are not fully known but Diogenes Laërtius gave several biographical details, mentioned that Apollodorus said he reached his acme in the 103rd Olympiad (368–365 BC), and claimed he died in his 53rd year. From this 19th century mathematical historians reconstructed dates of 408–355 BC, but 20th century scholars found their choices contradictory and prefer a birth year of c. 390 BC.[5] His name Eudoxus means "honored" or "of good repute" (εὔδοξος, from eu "good" and doxa "opinion, belief, fame", a
