I got coordinates for the Platonic solids from the web site mentioned in
p.g.:
http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/polyhedra/

The tetrahedron, octahedron and icosahedron could be converted directly.
The cube was easy to figure out with two triangles per face.  I used
three triangles per face for the dodecahedron.
After converting the coordinates, I souped things up with the ancient
Greek elements.
