In his 1954 book, Mathematics in Western Culture, Morris Klein wrote, "In the temple of mathematics reposed all truth, and Euclid was its high priest". However, that is more of a metaphor than an accepted fact and the epithet "priest of mathematics" is practically unknown among historians and mathematicians.
