I'm not sure how to update the article, or even if I'm doing this correctly, but the a source for the story about Hermes spending 10 years constructing a 65537-gon can be found in the book described by this article, page 47, immediately below figure 2.6.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_Constructions.
