So much of what we say about Columbus is either wholly untrue or greatly exaggerated. Here are a few of the top offenders. 1. Columbus set out to prove the world was round. If he did, he was about 2,000 years too late. Ancient Greek mathematicians had already proven that the Earth was round, not flat. Pythagoras in the sixth century B.C.E. was one of the originators of the idea.
In 1828, Irving wrote âThe Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus,â which sounds like a biography but is mostly fiction. It says that Europeans learned from Columbusâs trips to the New World that the planet was round. Letronne insisted that early Christian writers thought the Earth was flat. Though they did not, he was widely quoted for many years. Others, too, helped perpetuate the myth.
