Euclid lived during the late third and early fourth centuries, BCE. He flourished during the reign of Ptolemy I.
I belive nothing because there is no record of this.
Euclid, during his education in Athens around 300 BC, is thought to have been taught by former students of Plato. Although Euclid lived about 100 years later, he learned many of the teachings of Plato and used them in his own teaching at the university in Alexandria, Egypt, and compiled many of them in his writing of Elements.
Euclid was a mathematician whose third century B.C. textbook Elements served as the western world's unchallenged standard for two millennia. Nothing is known about Euclid's life or physical appearance, and what little is known about his career comes from inferences in later sources. It is generally agreed that he taught geometry in Hellenistic Egypt, at Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy I, between 305 and 285 B.C. He is credited with the thirteen volumes of Elements, a work that accumulated mathematical knowledge and codified it into a deductive system of proofs. Euclidean geometry was the geometry until the 19th century, when mathematicians began to challenge Euclid's assumptions about parallel lines when considering measurements over very large distances of, say, billions of light years. Euclids theories and knowledge impacted scientists throughout history froever. Also The book Elements is still used today as a reference for Math Textbooks.
Oh, don't you worry, friend. Euclid may not have received any awards in the traditional sense, but his work has been recognized and celebrated for centuries. His contributions to mathematics and geometry have left a lasting impact that continues to inspire and educate people around the world. Just like a happy little tree, Euclid's legacy grows and flourishes with each new generation of learners.
