Foreword by Professor Emeritus of the University of Patras and author Pavlos Dimotakis .


This book contains forty-eight Arithmetic problems, among which the famous oxen problem of Archimedes is presented, which concerns the calculation of the number of oxen of the god Helios. According to Homer's account in the Odyssey, these animals grazed on the island of Thrinakia, where Odysseus and his companions temporarily found themselves during their twenty-year wandering. This problem, as was customary at the time, Archimedes sent to Eratosthenes in Alexandria, to work out his solution.

Also, in the book of the friend Evangelos, fourteen Arithmetic Epigrams and thirty-three exercises of Theoretical Arithmetic are included, with an ancient text and rendering in Modern Greek. The corresponding solutions and answers are listed.
