Harpalus was an ancient Greek astronomer (flourished during the 82nd Olympiad, c. 450 BC) who corrected the cycle of Cleostratus and invented the Nine Year Cycle.
He may also have been the engineer Harpalus, who designed a pontoon bridge solution when Xerxes wished his army to cross the Hellespont.
