Samos

Aristarchus of Samos proposed that the sun was the center of the solar system, and that the stars might be other suns.

There was an ancient city; the Tyrian settlers held it: Carthage, standing afar opposite Italy and the mouths of the Tiber, rich in trade and very harsh in the study of war. Juno is said to have valued this one city more than all lands, even above Samos.

There stood a city, fronting far away / the mouths of Tiber and Italia's shore, / a Tyrian settlement of olden day, / rich in all wealth, and trained to war's rough lore, / Carthage the name, by Juno loved before / all places, even Samos.

Aristarchus of Samos believed that the Sun was at the center of the universe and that the Earth revolved around it.
