In fourth-century Greece Archytas of Tarentum solved a famous mathematical puzzle, saved Plato from the tyrant of Syracuse and led a powerful Greek city state. This 2005 book presents an interpretation of his significance for fourth-century Greek thought and provides a full commentary on all the fragments and testimonia.
