Was Socrates Correct..? .....?

This as always buged me... when socrates discovered displacment..and shouted ...EUREKA (to ephrika.) ...shouldnt be.....(to anacalipsa..)...as the promblem was hidden from him untill he got in the bath tub..

(anacalipsa)= is to uncover or find some thing..... but also ,(to ephrika) = i found it...or to find some thing lost...

the enigma here is it was NEVER LOST...just hidden....

what are ur thougths on this..?

am i wrong in understanding the grammer correctly?..or was it misinterpeted from ancient greek text..???

Update:

@@ ...mike...YOUR ABSOLUTLEY CORRECT...soory to confude all i had socrates on my mind...

it was ....ARCHIMIDES........ thank you for correcting me mike.....

    As said, it was Archimedes that shouted "EUREKA" and I have to admit that your question has a very profound logic.

    However, even today when we find something that we lost we still say "evrika " or "vrika". We do not say "anakalipsa". Anakaliptw" is the verb for finding something completely new and not thought of before.

    In this sense, as he discovered a new law in physics he could have used that verb, instead of eureka.

    For him, the answer to the problem was lost in the perplexity of his scientific mind and possibly it was all along right there in front of him but he could not see it.

    Besides, the effect itself was apparent and he must have seen it happening a lot of times before he actually let it register as a fact of physics law.

  • Archimedes said what I would say - Evrika
