Theodoros of Cyrene

Theodorus of Cyrene was an ancient Greek mathematician. The only first-hand accounts of him that survive are in three of Plato's dialogues: the Theaetetus, the Sophist, and the Statesman. In the first dialogue, he posits a mathematical construction now known as the Spiral of Theodorus.
