Archimedes was born in the city of Syracuse on the island of Sicily in 287 BC. He was the son of an astronomer and mathematician named Phidias. Aside from that very little is known about the early life of Archimedes or his family. Some maintain that belonged to the nobility of Syracuse, and that family was in some way related to that of Hiero II, king of Syracuse.
