High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Hero (or Heron) of Alexandria (c. 10-70 AD). was an ancient Greek mathematician who was a resident of a Roman province (Ptolemaic Egypt); he was also an engineer who was active in his native city of Alexandria. He is considered the greatest experimenter of antiquity and his work is representative of the Hellenistic scientific tradition. Hero published a well recognized description of a steam-powered device called an aeolipile (hence sometimes called a "Hero engine"). Among his most famous inventions was a windwheel, constituting one of the earliest instances of wind harnessing. He is said to have been a follower of the Atomists. Some of his ideas were derived from the works of Ctesibius. Much of Hero's original writings and designs have been lost, having been burned by anti-pagan Christians sometime in the late 4th to 5th century-whether intentionally or unintentionally, as many of the writings from the Library of Alexandria were housed in pagan temples later burned by Christian leaders such as Pope Theophilus of Alexandria. Fortunately, some of his works were preserved in Arab manuscripts. von Miller, Frederic P.
