Oh I almost forgot about this! Yes, the Elements rock. Some of the earliest 
(and I think THE earliest _complete_) mathematical works we have. The first 
Proposition is beautiful too - how to construct an equilateral triangle. I've 
thought about getting a tattoo of that. And of course it all culminates in 
the construction of the five regular solids.

Without a Euclid, there could have been no Archamides, nor Ptolemy, nor 
Kepler, nor Descartes, nor Newton, nor Einstein --or Matz for that matter.
