A friend and disciple of Aristotle. Evdem Rhodes - author of the first historical research on astronomy, astrology and mathematics, covering the period from VI to IV in. BC.

Evdem Rhodes is also known for his treatment of Aristotelian ethics (ethics Evdemova in 7 books), which he gave a more theological direction, the very uncharacteristic Aristotle. Excerpts works Evdema Rhodes on the history, geometry, arithmetic, astronomy, published in 1878
