Eratosthenes (Ἐρατοσθένης) ( 276 SM - 194 SM)
> seorang matematikawan, ahli geografi dan astronom zaman Helenistik.
> orang yang pertama kali memikirkan sistem koordinat geografi
> orang pertama yang menghitung keliling Bumi.
pada saat titik musim panas pada siang lokal di kota Syene yang terletak di Tropic of Cancer, Matahari akan tampak di zenit, tepat di atas kepala. Ia juga mengetahui dari pengukuran bahwa di kampung halamannya, Alexandria, sudut kemiringan Matahari pada saat yang sama adalah 7,2° di selatan zenit. Dengan asumsi bahwa Alexandria berada di utara Syene.
ia menyimpulkan bahwa jarak dari Alexandria ke Syene adalah 7,2/360 dari total keliling Bumi. Jarak antara kedua kota tersebut diketahui dari para pedagang/pengelana sekitar 5000 stadia : sekitar 800 km. Dia mendapatkan angka akhir 700 stadia per derajat, yang berarti keliling Bumi adalah 252.000 stadia. Ukuran pasti dari stadion yang dia gunakan saat ini tidak lagi diketahui dengan pasti. (ukuran stadion Attic sekitar 185 m), tetapi umumnya dipercaya bahwa keliling Bumi yang dihitung Eratosthenes adalah sekitar 39.690 km.
