Draft. Some of the obvious things here include:
- The "Eureka" thing
- Archimedes' screw
- The principle of the lever
- The buoyancy principle
- Machines invented for the defense of Syracuse
- Books written (yes, they didn't survive intact, but list them anyway)
- Some info on π, or at least a link to π's page.
