<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Andronicus of Cyrrhus&#039;&#039;&#039; was a [[Greece|Greek]] astronomer who flourished about 100 BC.<br /> <br /> He built an horologium at [[Athens]], the so-called [[Tower of the Winds]], a considerable portion of which still exists. It is octagonal, with figures carved on each side, representing the eight principal winds. In antiquity a bronze figure of [[Triton (god)|Triton]] on the summit, with a rod in his hand, turned round by the wind, pointed to the quarter from which it blew. From this model is derived the custom of placing weathercocks on steeples.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Credit wikipedia}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Greek astronomers]]</div>
