Cicero refers to Hicetas in the Academica, volume II, citing in turn Theophrastus. [3][4] According to Heath: Cicero [says] “Hicetas of Syracuse, as Theophrastus says, holds that the heaven, the sun, the moon, the stars and in fact all things in the sky remain still, and nothing else in the universe moves, except the earth; but as the earth turns and twists about its axis with extreme swiftness, all the same results follow as if the earth were still and the heaven moved". This is of course not well expressed…but Cicero means no more than that the rotation of the earth is a complete substitute for the apparent daily rotation of the heaven as a whole.[5] Notes1. ^Theophrastus ap Cicero, Acad. Quaest. ii. 39. Diogenes Laërtius (viii. 85) says that some ascribed this doctrine to Hicetas, while others attributed it to Philolaus. {{Greek astronomy}}{{Authority control}}{{AncientGreece-bio-stub}}{{greece-scientist-stub}}{{Europe-astronomer-stub}}2. ^W.
