Archimedes' Book of Lemmas
Index.
According to "The Works of Archimedes" by T. L. Heath, Cambridge 1897, Archimedes' works included "On the Sphere and Cylinder", "On the Measurement of a Circle", "On Conoids and Spheroids", "On Spirals", "On the Equilibriums of Planes", "The Sand-reckoner", "Quadrature of the parabola", "On Floating Bodies", "Book of Lemmas" and "The Method".
In the book "Book of Lemmas", attributed by Thabit ibn-Qurra to Archimedes, there were 15 propositions on circles, with the first proposition referred in the subsequent fifth and sixth propositions. The statements in "Book of Lemmas" do not seem to concur to a central theme.

Miquel Pentagram, Dynamic Geometry
Requires Java 1.3 or higher and Java enable browser
Take a pentagram ABCDE forming a convex pentagon FGHIJ and triangles AFJ, BGF, CHG, DIH, and EJI. Construct the circumcircles of triangles AFJ, BGF, CHG, DIH, and EJI. Then the five new points, K,L,M,N,P resulting from the intersection of two consecutive circumferences are concyclic (lie on the same circumference).

Monge & d'Alembert Three Circles Theorem II
Dynamic Geometry
Given three disjoint circles A, B and C of unequal radii situated entirely in each other's exterior, the common internal tangents of circles A and C meet in Y, the common internal tangents of circles A and B meet in Z and the common external tangents of circles B and C meet in X. Then the points X, Y and Z are collinear.
