The life and work of the characters in thehistory of science can be studied by historiansthrough the subjective edges of a prism formedby their own thoughts, perceptions and imagination,which means that it often results indistorted images that give rise to myths.This paper makes an invitation to criticallyanalyze those images captured by historiansabout some of the main characters of science andtheir environment.
