Hero of Alexandria, Hellenistic physics

Scientific paper

Known as the Michanikos, Hero of Alexandria is considered the inventor of the
world's first steam engine and of many other sophisticated devices. Here we
discuss three of them as described in his book "Pneumatica". These machines,
working with water, air and fire, are clear examples of the deep knowledge of
fluid dynamics reached by the Hellenistic scientists.
