Pappus of Alexandria
Only little is known of his life. The mathematician Pappus of Alexandria refers to him as Aristaeus the Elder. Pappus gave Aristaeus great credit for a work entitled "Five Books concerning Solid Loci" which was used by Pappus but has been lost. He may have also authored the book "Concerning the Comparison of Five Regular Solids". This book has also been lost; we know of it through a reference by the Greek mathematician Hypsicles.
