Adrakhones

Overview

Adrakhones is an early theoric figure closely associated with Orithena and traditionally credited with the Adrakhonic Theorem. Within the Mathic World, his name serves as shorthand for foundational geometry and for inquiry into ideal forms in the Hylaean Theoric World.

Appearance and Traits

  • No physical description is preserved; he is remembered through mathematical legacy and temple tradition.

Roles and Actions

  • Early leadership at Orithena is attributed to Adrakhones in teaching and liturgy, with later leadership shifting to Diax or his pupils.
  • His namesake theorem is treated as a canonical example of proof and as a language‑independent emblem of geometric truth.
  • A contemporary avout’s working notes place “Adrakhones” near the top of a web tracing lines of influence from Orithena to later theors such as Diax and Metekoranes; the precise historical connections are not resolved in the text.

Relationships

  • Orithena tradition: Linked to the earliest gatherings of theors there; later tradition associates Diax with the same temple complex.
  • Modern reference: An elder avout, Fraa Jad, jokingly called a shop of drafting instruments a “Temple of Adrakhones,” underscoring the association with geometry and measurement.

Current Status

A historical figure known through tradition and teaching. Adrakhones’ name continues to be cited in current discussions and notes as a touchstone for elementary geometry and for the origins of the temple tradition at Orithena.

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.
