Theon of Smyrna Theon of Smyrna (Greek: Θέων ο Σμυρναίος "Theon o Smyrneos", "gen." Θέωνος "Theonos"; fl. 100 CE) was a Greek philosopher and mathematician, whose works were strongly influenced by the Pythagorean school of thought.

Theodorus of Cyrene Theodorus of Cyrene (Greek: Θεόδωρος ὁ Κυρηναῖος ) was an ancient Libyan Greek and lived during the 5th century BC. The only first-hand accounts of him that survive are in three of Plato's dialogues: the "Theaetetus", the "Sophist", and the "Statesman". In the former dialogue, he posits a mathematical theorem now known as the Spiral of Theodorus.
