Historical Note on Archimedean Polyhedron

The Archimedean polyhedra were originally classified by Archimedes of Syracuse in a work, now lost, that was discussed by Pappus of Alexandria.

The first of the modern mathematicians to describe them was Johannes Kepler in his $1619$ work Harmonices Mundi.
