The Elements still influences modern geometry books. Further, its logical axiomatic approach and rigorous proofs remain the cornerstone ...

This postulate does not specifically talk about parallel lines; [1] it is only a postulate related to parallelism. Euclid gave the definition of parallel lines in Book I, Definition 23 [2] just before the five postulates. [3] Euclidean geometry is the study of geometry that satisfies all of Euclid's axioms, including the parallel postulate.
