Pythagoras referred to the five regular solids as the "Platonic solids." These solids are the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron. Each solid is characterized by having faces that are congruent regular polygons and the same number of faces meeting at each vertex. They were associated with the elements in ancient philosophy: earth, air, water, fire, and the cosmos.
