Perseus is a naughty student who thinks he doesn’t have to do anything, as he is “special,” being the son of Zeus, king of the gods.

At his wits end, Socrates consults with his friend, Archimedes on how to handle this problem.

Archimedes, who is a master of simple machines, suggests that Perseus take some of his machines and launch on a quest, seeking to help anyone he can find.

Archimedes is the greatest - or so he thinks. He is obsessed with the Simple Machines he invented.

Archimedes’ best friend is Socrates, the desperate teacher with an impossible student.

To help his friend, Archimedes sacrifices his Simple Machines.

Archimedes is ranked along with Gauss and Newton as one of the three best mathematicians in history. He invented huge cranes, catapults and mirrors to defend an island against the mighty Roman invaders. The catapults hurled 500 pound boulders at the Roman soldiers on the ground. The cranes picked up the enemy ships and smashed them against the rocks. The mirrors concentrated the sunlight to burn the ships. Archimedes was an amazing scientist and mathematician.
