Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; Heraclides Ponticus (387 - 312 BCE) , also known as Heraklides, was a Greek philosopher who lived and died at Heraclea, now Eregli, Turkey. He has frequently been hailed as the originator of the heliocentric theory. Though this is now generally doubted, he did anticipate the thinking of later astronomers. Heraclides' father was Euthyphron, a wealthy nobleman who sent him to study at the Academy in Athens under its founder Plato and under his successor Speusippus, though he also studied with Aristotle. According to the Suda, Plato, on his departure for Sicily in 360 BCE, left his pupils in the charge of Heraclides. Speusippus, before his death in 339 BCE, had chosen Xenocrates as his successor but Xenocrates narrowly triumphed in an ensuing election against Heraclides and Menedemus. A punning on his name, dubbing him Heraclides "Pompicus, " suggests he may have been a rather vain and pompous man and the target of much ridicule. However, Heraclides seems to have been a versatile and prolific writer on philosophy, mathematics, music, grammar, physics, history and rhetoric, notwithstanding doubts about attribution of many of the works. It appears that he composed various works in dialogue form. The main source of this biographical welter is the collection by Diogenes Laërtius. His major distinction is that he realised, as the result of observation, that Venus and Mercury orbit the Sun as satellites. Some writers have seen this as evidence that he originated the heliocentric theory prior to Aristarchus of Samos and Nicolaus Copernicus. However, it is now generally believed that he was proposing an essentially geocentric model in which those planets orbit the Sun but the Sun, in turn, orbits the Earth along with the Moon, a theory later revived by Tycho Brahe. He was also the first to put forward the theory that the Earth rotates on its axis once a day. Of particular significance to historians is his statement that fourth century Rome was a Greek city.

'Dr Gottschalk has written a study which provides the basis for a properly balanced assessment of Heraclides' historical significance. The result, except perhaps for astronomy, will disappoint anyone by whom Heraclides was cherished as an unsung genius. (.) Heraclides' philosophy was 'a popular form of Platonism' (p.140). (.) But it is difficult to know what we are talking about when reference is made to 'Heraclides' philosophy'. One of his most distinctive contributions was 'to make propaganda for the contempaltive life' (p.32). (.) Heraclides was also interested in collecting 'factual' material on oracles, and laws, in tracing the origins of the musical modes, in doing many of the things we associate with Peripatetic research. (.) Gottschalk is inclined to see Heraclides as an isolated figure of limited influence on his successors. (.) Dr Gottschalk has cleared the ground admirably. I hope it is not grudging to wish he had done more to create an imaginative and social context for identifying the aims and methods of Heraclides and his like.' (A.A. LONG in The Classical Review (New Series), 1982, pp.200-01). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott.
