What Hellenistic scientist was able to calculate the circumference of the earth within 200 miles?
Eratosthenes is said to have calculated the Earth's circumference to such a high accuracy. The major problem with these claims is that he estimated the circumference in terms of stadia. There were several different versions of the stadion and nobody knows the modern equivalent of the stadion used for his result! If the stadion is taken to be a Hellenic standard, of 185 metres, then the claim is true.
