Euclid probably was educated in Athens by pupils of Plato. His chief work, Elements, was used as a school text for 2000 years. A modified version of its first few sections forms the basis of modern high school plane geometry. The first printed edition of Elements was a translation from Arabic to Latin that appeared at Venice in 1482.
