"Do not disturb my circles" - Archimedes' final words before death ▲
One day, while Archimedes was sitting in his house and contemplating a mathematical diagram that he had drawn on the sand, a Roman soldier entered the room and ordered him to come with him. Archimedes refused to leave until he had finished his problem, and he said to the soldier: “Do not disturb my circles.”
The soldier, who did not know who Archimedes was or how important he was to the Greeks, became angry and killed him with his sword.
When Marcellus heard what had happened, he was very upset and regretted the loss of such a great man. He ordered that Archimedes’ body be buried with honor and that his tomb be marked with a sphere and a cylinder, which were symbols of his mathematical discoveries. He also sent a letter of apology to Hieron’s son and successor, Gelon, and offered to pay for any damages caused by the siege.
The above story about the death of Archimedes was written by Plutarch, a Greek biographer who wrote about Archimedes’ life, explaining how he was killed by a Roman soldier during the siege of Syracuse, a Greek city in Sicily, in 212 BC.
Syracuse was under attack by the Roman army led by General Marcus Claudius Marcellus, who wanted to conquer the city and take its riches. Archimedes was a friend of the king of Syracuse, Hieron II, and he helped defend the city by inventing and building various war machines, such as catapults, cranes, and mirrors that could set fire to enemy ships. However, Archimedes was more interested in mathematics than in warfare, and he spent most of his time studying geometry and solving problems. He was so absorbed in his work that he often forgot to eat or bathe, and he drew diagrams on the walls, the floors, and even on his own body.

I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

It eventually leads to:
