A student at Socrates' deathbed who went on to argue that goodness was the only thing truly real — one, eternal, and without opposite — and spent centuries getting confused with the geometry guy.
About
Euclid studied under Socrates in the late 5th century BC and was there when his teacher died. Afterward, he founded the Megarian school and built a philosophy around a single unshakable claim: the supreme good is one thing, eternal and unchangeable, and nothing contrary to it exists. For over a thousand years, medieval scholars mixed him up with Euclid of Alexandria, the mathematician, when copying and translating the Elements — a case of mistaken identity that outlasted the philosophy itself.
