In the XIII-XVI centuries, Euclid from Megara was considered the author of the mathematical "Beginnings" (c. 300 BC) for the reason that Diogenes Laertius (beginning of the III century) did not know Euclid, a mathematician, and regarding Euclid from Megara He stated that in contesting the evidence, he did not dispute the initial provisions in them, but the derivation of the consequences.
