Archimedes and Pythagoras Vavasor are generally reckoned to have been the most eminent set of twins in the history of mathematics. However, as far as the general public is concerned, they are more well-known for the manner of their deaths. Pythagoras was found stabbed through the heart with a metal set square, while Archimedes was found hanged in a wood several days later in an apparent suicide. Despite much speculation, no credible motive for the murder has ever been established.
