Archytas
Archytas of Tarentum (c. 428–347 BCE) was a Pythagorean philosopher, mathematician, and statesman who led Tarentum and was associated with Plato. He contributed to mathematics, harmonics, and mechanics, including work on proportions and the mathematical theory of music. No complete writings by him survive, but fragments and later testimony attest to his influence on Pythagorean philosophy and ancient science.
