Earth shnpe Th.o.,e,

1t was Thales who first propagat0d
the theory that the earth is round, and
Anaximander held that it moved on its
own axis and that the moon shone by
reflected light of the sun. Pythagoras,
Eve centuries before the Christian era,
anticipated Copernicus by saying that
the sun and not the earth was the cen
ter Of the planetary world. But the
Ptolemaic system, which made the
earth the center, superseded the specu-
lations Of the philosopher whose opin-
ion concerning wild fowl has gained
wider currency than his more sensible
views. And, in spite of the researches
Of many astronomers of eminence, It
was left for Copernicus in the sixteenth
century to convince the world of the
truth of the Pythagorean hypothesis.
