Abstract

The subject of this paper is to present some of the most classic theorems of Euclidean Geometry from ancient times to the modern era. It is not focused on the formulation and proof of such, but it records their history, which is usually quite complex. To do this, it took archival research, looking at original texts of various languages to confirm the inventor of a theorem and follow step by step its evolution. We found the first publication and subsequent inventors of the same theorem, relying on a wide range of literature. Also for each theorem are given several and different proofs, produced from antiquity until today. Due to the limited size of such work, we will deal with just some theorems related to the syllabus of secondary schools, avoiding those whose story is widely known, such as the Pythagorean Theorem.
