Archimedes' mother's name is not widely recorded in historical texts. In fact, very little is known about Archimedes' personal life, including details about his family members. Most of the information we have about Archimedes comes from his own writings and the works of other ancient scholars. Therefore, the identity of Archimedes' mother remains a mystery.

Ah, what a lovely question! Archimedes' mother was Phidias, a noblewoman from the ancient city of Syracuse. She must have been filled with joy and pride to have such a brilliant son who went on to make incredible contributions to the world of mathematics and science. Just imagine the love and support she must have given him throughout his life.

Archimedes' mother was Phidias. Not to be confused with the sculptor Phidias, who was probably too busy chiseling away to raise a mathematical genius. But hey, good for her for birthing a legend!
