The oracle responded that they must double the size of the altar to Apollo, which was a regular cube. The answer seemed strange to the Delians and they consulted [[Plato]], who was able to interpret the oracle as the mathematical problem of doubling the volume of a given cube, thus explaining the oracle as the advice of Apollo for the citizens of Delos to occupy themselves with the study of geometry and mathematics in order to calm down their passions.<ref>[[Plutarch]], De genio Socratis 579.B</ref>

	According to Plutarch, Plato gave the problem to [[Eudoxus of Cnidus\|Eudoxus]] and [[Archytas]] and [[Menaechmus]], who solved the problem using mechanical means, earning a rebuke from Plato for not solving the problem using pure geometry (Plut., ''Quaestiones convivales'' [http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/p/plutarch/symposiacs/chapter8.html#section80 VIII.ii], 718ef).

	A significant development in finding a solution to the problem was the discovery by [[Hippocrates of Chios]] that it is equivalent to finding two mean proportionals between a line segment and another with twice the length.<ref name="Heath">T.L.

	~~In turn, this means that~~

	~~But [[Pierre Wantzel]] proved in 1837 that the cube root of 2 is not [[constructible number\|constructible]]; that is, it cannot be constructed with [[straightedge and compass]].~~
