  1. DISCOVERY OF MAGNET BY MAGNES at MAGNESIA

  2. There was a shepherd named Magnes, who lived in ancient Greece.

  3. He used to take his herd of sheep and goats to the nearby mountains for grazing. He would take a stick with him to control his herd.

  4. The stick had a small piece of iron attached at one end.

  5. One day he was surprised to find that he had to pull hard to free his stick from a rock on the mountain side . It seemed as if the stick was being attracted by the rock.

  6. The rock was a natural magnet and it attracted the iron tip of the shepherd's stick.

  7. These rocks were given the name magnetite, perhaps after the name of that shepherd. • Magnetite contains iron.
