Caption: Euclid (fl. 300 BCE) in a detail from The School of Athens (1509--1511).
The hair-challenged Euclid is giving the totally-engaged and luxurously hirsute students a lesson in geometry.
Hipparchus (c.190--c.120 BCE) and Ptolemy (c.100--c.170 CE) are about to drop globes on Euclid.
The model for Euclid was Donato Bramante (1444--1514) (see Wikipedia: The School of Athens: Program, subject, figure identifications and interpretations).
