Ko te rā whānau e hāngai ana ki te kīanga a te kaituhi kōrero Kariki Byzantine a John Tzetzes i ora ai a Archimedes mō te 75 tau. I roto i te The Sand Reckoner, ka whakahuatia e Archimedes te ingoa o tona papa ko Phidias, he tohunga whetu kaore he mea ke atu e mohiotia ana. I tuhia e Plutarch i roto i tana Parallel Lives ko Archimedes te whanaunga ki a King Hiero II, te rangatira o Syracuse. I tuhia he haurongo mo Archimedes e tana hoa a Heracleides engari kua ngaro tenei mahi, ka ngaro nga korero mo tona oranga. Hei tauira, e kore e mōhiotia mēnā i marenatia ia, i whai tamariki rānei. I a ia e tamariki ana, i ako pea a Archimedes i Arehanaria, i Ihipa, i reira a Conon o Samos me Eratosthenes o Cyrene i te wa ano. I whakahua ia ki a Conon o Samos hei hoa, i te mea e rua ana mahi (Te Tikanga o nga Mechanical Theorems me te Raru o te Kahui) he whakataki ki a Eratosthenes.  Pātai: I whānau a Archimedes ki tēhea taone?
