"Eureka!" —that's the word that helped Archimedes go down in history. He ran naked through the streets of Syracuse shouting "Eureka!" — or "I have it!" in Greek. The story behind that event was that Archimedes was charged with proving that a new crown made for Hieron, the king of Syracuse, was not pure gold as the goldsmith had claimed. He was taking a bath and came up with how to discover this. But he actually said: "εύρηκα."
