Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Philo of Byzantium (ca. 280 BC – ca. 220 BC), also known as Philo Mechanicus, was a Greek engineer and writer on mechanics, who lived during the latter half of the 3rd century BC. He was probably younger than Ctesibius, though some place him a century earlier. Philo was the author of a large work, Mechanike syntaxis (Compendium of Mechanics), which contained the following sections: Isagoge - an introduction to mathematics, Mochlica (μοχλικά) - on general mechanics.
