But this was probably conceived as 'revolution in a zero diameter orbit'. Ekphantus as we saw also let the earth move, rather than the sun and stars 50.
Mars: Ensphered d la Eudoxos. "Here is how Eudoxos accounted for the motion of a planet, with four spheres. The planet itself is carried by the innermost, embedded at some place on the equator. The outermost of the four spins round a North-South axle once in 24 hours, to account for the planet's daily motion in common with the stars. The next inner sphere spins with its axle pivoted in the outermost sphere and tilted 23t o from the N-S direction, so that its equator is ecliptic path of the Sun and planets.
Nor was his outlook even affected by mathematical considerations, as Plato's surely had been. In his geometrical computations Eudoxos had entertained imaginary 95 96 De Caela, II, 14, pp. 297b-298a.
