The reason that Euclid was so influential is that his work is more than just an explanation of geometry or even of mathematics.

Answer:

The book he wrote became the foundation for modern geometry.

Step-by-step explanation:

Euclidean geometry is the mathematical operation associated with Alexandrian Greek mathematician Euclid, which he explained in his textbook on geometry: the Components.

Euclid's system consists in considering a short collection of intuitively appealing assumptions and concluding many other theorems from these assumptions. Euclid was the first to show how suggestions from initial mathematicians could fit into a general deductive and logical method.
