    • Shakespeare's Hamlet contains an allegorical description of the competition between cosmological models: the infinite Sun-centered universe of Thomas Digges (c.1546-1595) of England; a hybrid Earth-centered model of Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) of Denmark; the time-honored Earth-centered algorithms of the Alexandrian mathematician Claudius Ptolemy (circa 100-170 CE). These models are personified by Prince Hamlet, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, and King Claudius.
