Archimedes' symbol, often referred to as the "Archimedes' constant" or "Archimedes' principle," primarily relates to his contributions in mathematics and physics. The symbol most commonly associated with him is the Greek letter pi (π), which represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Additionally, Archimedes is known for his work on hydrostatics, particularly the principle stating that a body submerged in fluid experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. His legacy continues to influence mathematics, physics, and engineering today.
Pythagoras dies before Archimedes was born.
Archimedes, one of the greatest mathamaticians of all times.
How? With his brain! That's how he answered it
Neither of them. They achievements were very useful but are not directly comparable because they are in different areas of study.
It has been attributed to Archimedes.
Archimedes first used the symbol PI because he was the first one to discover it so he wanted to investigate about it.

Archimedes is often credited with being the first mathematician to systematically use the symbol π (pi) to represent the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, although he did not use the symbol itself as we know it today. He provided a method for calculating pi through inscribing and circumscribing polygons around a circle, which allowed him to approximate its value more accurately. The actual symbol π was later adopted by Welsh mathematician William Jones in 1706, but Archimedes' work laid the foundation for its significance in mathematics. His contributions greatly advanced the understanding of geometry and the properties of circles.
Archimedes invented Archimedes' screw.
One of the things that Archimedes did not do is that Archimedes did not write Elements of Geometry.
Archimedes didnt get Nobel prize. Some of his discoveries / inventions are: Archimedes principle, Archimedes screw, claw of Archimedes.

He is only known as Archimedes of Syracuse ( now Sicily).
