JERZY DROZD Siracusa
Do not disturb my circles!
"Nōlī turbāre circulōs meōs!" is a Latin phrase, meaning "Do not disturb my circles!". It may have been uttered by Archimedes of Syracuse, the finest scientist and mathematician of the ancient world, as his last words.
Archimedes was killed by a Roman soldier when his city, Syracuse, was taken by the Romans. The legend goes to state that Archimedes was found while engaged in drawing a geometrical diagram in the sand, the city burning around him.
There are many versions of the story of his killing. According to one of Plutarch's versions, Archimedes was working out some problem by a diagram, and having fixed his mind alike and his eyes upon the subject of his speculation, he never noticed the incursion of the Romans, nor that the city was taken. In this transport of study and contemplation, a Roman soldier, unexpectedly coming up to him with a drawn sword, offered to kill him; and that Archimedes, looking back, earnestly besought him to hold his hand a little while, that he might not leave what he was then at work upon inconclusive and imperfect; but the soldier, nothing moved by his entreaty, instantly killed him.
These last words attributed to Archimedes, "Nōlī turbāre circulōs meōs!", are a reference to the circles in the mathematical drawing that he was supposedly studying when disturbed by the Roman soldier.
For us, the centerpiece of this story is not Archimedes' genius but Archimedes' passion, hot and pure. As Plutarch describes it:
"Oftimes Archimedes' servants got him against his will to the baths, to wash and anoint him, and yet being there, he would ever be drawing out of the geometrical figures, even in the very embers of the chimney. And while they were anointing of him with oils and sweet savours, with his fingers he drew lines upon his naked body, so far was he taken from himself, and brought into ecstasy or trance, with the delight he had in the study of geometry."
