ARCHIMEDES CONSIDERED

"Again, he [Archimedes] used to say, in the Doric speech of Syracuse : “Give me a place to stand and with a lever I will move the whole world.” ΕΛΕΓΕ ΔΕ ΚΑΙ ΔΩΡΙΣΤΙ ΦΩΝΗ ΣΥΡΑΚΟΥΣΙΑ, “ΠΑ ΒΩ ΚΑΙ ΧΑΡΙΣΤΙΩΝΙ ΤΑΝ ΓΑΝ ΚΙΝΗΣΩ ΠΑΣΑΝ.” John Tzetzes (12th century AD) Book of Histories (Chiliades) 2, 129-130 Translated by Francis R. Walton" THIS MIGHT MEAN THAT KNOWING WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHY, WHOSE, YOU ARE ENABLES "YOU" WITH A "LEVER"--WITH WHATEVER TOOL THAT "YOU" MAY HAVE--TO OVERCOME THE WORLD, INDEED TO TRANSFORM THE WORLD, AS WELL!
