Archimedes of Syracuse, born around 287 BCE, killed in the Roman sack of Syracuse in 212 or 211 BCE, is the name this site attaches to a Greek writer of Syracuse. Correspondence with Alexandria is in the letters of the treatises. Hieron II is the named king.
What this site holds is the work list on this page: equilibrium of planes, sphere and cylinder, quadrature of the parabola, measurement of the circle, conoids and spheroids, the method to Eratosthenes, assumptions, floating bodies, spirals, the cattle problem in two headings, the sand-reckoner, the stomachion, and polyhedra. Sphere-making is a lost title in the notices, not a file here. The Greek speaks of γεωμετρία, of κύκλος, σφαῖρα, κύλινδρος. It is these Greek books, not a founding document of later analysis.
