Euclid

About Euclid

Euclid, an ancient Greek mathematician active around 300 BCE, is recognized by the Pantheon project as history's 108th most influential figure (HPI #108). His profound historical importance stems almost entirely from his seminal work, Elements, a monumental compilation of geometric knowledge that served as the standard textbook for over two millennia, fundamentally shaping Western mathematics, science, and logical reasoning.

In the modern digital sphere, however, Euclid's cultural relevance appears muted. His Wikipedia page accrued 473K annualized views in 2025. This level of attention is extremely low relative to his historical standing, yielding an Attention Gap of approximately 1x, meaning his current internet visibility is barely aligned with his massive historical influence, unlike figures such as Leonhard Euler (HPI #220) who received nearly double his views at 872K.

Furthermore, this modest attention is declining; Euclid saw a year-over-year viewership drop of -26.1% in 2025, alongside an -8% drop in momentum when comparing Q1 to Q3 performance, suggesting a continuing slide away from public consciousness.
