Duncan would probably know for sure, but off the top of my head there was a fellow whose name begins with a "Zo" who invented a double non-torsion bow at roughly the same date that the gastrophetes appears in Syracuse. I think it was a different fellow who is credited as being the father of mechanics- specifically applying mathematics to weaponry. I'll look into both.
