Archimedes did many things, such as: developed ideas that proved essential to the formation of calculus, found a very accurate value for pi, solved the problem of buoyancy, established the law of the lever, defined the spiral, used the method of exhaustion to calculate the area of the arc of a parabola, found an ingenious system for expressing large numbers, came up with the fulcrum, and devised a method of displacement volumes.
Archimedes got the reputation of saying outlandish things. However, after he staged a performance for the king and his court where he pulled a trireme up onto the beach all by himself using a system of pulleys, a law was then passed that anything Archimedes said was to be considered true.
When the Romans were conquering Sicily they put together a special troop who's task was to capture Archimedes alive. Alas he was killed by a soldier from another troop who didn't know who the old man was. Archimedes' last words were 'Don't disturb my circles.'
