Eratosthenes' father's name was Aglaos, but little is known about him. His mother's name is not definitively recorded in historical texts. Eratosthenes was born in Cyrene, a Greek city in present-day Libya, around 276 BC. He became a notable mathematician, astronomer, and geographer, best known for calculating the Earth's circumference.
