A Legend of Old Egypt

Archimedes of Syracuse (278 B.C.E. - 212 B.C.E.) "The importance of the role played by Archimedes in the history of science can scarcely be exaggerated.

The Wife of Bath I see as being more the naïve, idealistic old hag. Another correlation is how sly they both are and how they like to gossip.      I am pretty positive Chaucer meant for the Old Hag to be related to the Wife of Bath for the different reasons I have explained.
