Adrakhones

First Appearance and Context

Adrakhones is presented in mathic teaching as an early theoric figure closely associated with Orithena, where he is credited with initiating its temple tradition and giving his name to a foundational geometric result later called the Adrakhonic Theorem. His name is invoked in discussions about ideal forms and geometry within the tradition of the Hylaean Theoric World.

Affiliations and Relationships

  • Associated with the earliest theoric communities centered on Orithena and with the lineage of inquiry that treats geometry as access to ideal forms in the Hylaean Theoric World.
  • Modern usage: an elder avout, Fraa Jad, wryly referred to a shop selling instruments like protractors as a “Temple of Adrakhones,” underscoring Adrakhones’ link to geometry and measurement. This is presented as colloquial usage observed in conversation, not a literal institution.
  • Context: remembered within the Mathic World as part of the origin story for formal theorics and temple‑based instruction.

Important Actions

  • Founder/first leader associated with the temple at Orithena as preserved in mathic accounts.
  • Credited with the Adrakhonic Theorem (a right‑triangle relation that later teaching cites as an archetypal statement about ideal geometric objects).

Descriptions and Characteristics

No physical or personal description is provided in the sources. Adrakhones is remembered through mathematical legacy and institution‑building.

Current Status/Location

A historical figure known through liturgy and teaching rather than direct contemporaneous records. His name persists as shorthand for foundational geometry and is occasionally used in colloquial remarks that equate tool‑shops for drafting with a “temple” to his domain.

Summary:

An early theoric figure credited with founding the Temple of Orithena and discovering the Adrakhonic Theorem, which states that in a right triangle the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
