Recent scholarship has greatly improved our understanding of the structure and function of
the Antikythera mechanism. 1 One unresolved issue is whether the mechanism included a
display of the variability (or anomaly) in the angular motion of the Sun. In Price's original
reconstruction, the motion of the Sun was treated only in the mean. A single pointer
indicated the day of the year in the Egyptian calendar and the position of the uniformly-
moving mean Sun in the zodiac. Of course, the actual position of the Sun can depart from …
