2. Eudoxus Eudoxus was born in Cnidos, on the Black Sea. He studied mathematics with Archytus in Tarentum. He studied medicine with Philistium on Sicily. At 23 years he went to Plato's academy in Athens to study philosophy and rhetoric. Some time later he went to Egypt to learn astronomy at Helopolis. He established a school at Cyzicus on the sea of Marmora and had many pupils.

3. Eudoxus Eudoxus was a Greek mathematician and astronomer who contributed to Euclid's Elements. He mapped the stars and compiled a map of the known world. His philosophy influenced Aristotle.

4. Eudoxus Eudoxus, born in the city of Cnidus in southern Asia Minor, in the last years of the Vth century B. C., is one of the great mathematicians of all times, and probably the greatest of ancient Greece's mathematicians. He may have belonged to a family of physicians, because, at the time, Cnidus was famous for its school of medicine, and started his carrier travelling with fellow-physicians. When he was 23, he stayed for two months in Piræus, going each day to Athens to listen to Plato and other Socratics. Later he went to Egypt, where he learned astronomy from priests of Heliopolis. Back from Egypt, he went to Halicarnassus and then settled for a while in Cyzicus, where he founded a school of astronomy that remained famous long after his death. Then, he came to Athens where he probably worked with Plato at the Academy. Toward the end of his life, he returned to his native city of Cnidus where he was involved in lawmaking.

6. Eudoxus Eudoxus of Cnidus (410 or 408 BC – 355 or 347 BC) was a Greek astronomer, mathematician, scholar and student of Plato. Since all his own works are lost, our knowledge of him is obtained from secondary sources, such as Aratus's poem on astronomy. Theodosius of Bithynia's Sphaerics may be based on a work of Eudoxus.
