Back then such people were called 'philosophers' or someone that loved wisdom. Later the things they studied was called 'Natural Philosophy'. At about the time of Dalton, Newton and Benjamin Franklin such people began to be called 'Scientists'. Up to that time people that loved chemistry were called Alchemists and after that time were called Chemists.
Aristotle was the most famous of the Greek scholars and his written works were used into the Middle Ages. The educated people at that time were priests and their philosophy or educational methods was called 'Scholasticism'. Their methods allowed no observation of the world by the individual and individuals trained in Scholasticism were trained almost exclusively in what Aristotle wrote, as far science was concerned.
Aristarcus was a Greek and he studied and observed and thought about the stars and Earth and the Sun. His idea was that the planets rotated about the Sun or 'Helios'. His system was called Heliocentric; or rotating about the Sun, as opposed to 'Geocentric' or rotating around the Earth, which was what Aristotle and Scholastics, and the Catholic Church, and the religions of Greece believed. Aristarchus' books were nearly all destroyed by the religions of his day. Aristotle's were preserved.
Aristotle received large amounts of money from Alexander the Great. One shipment was 40,000 talents of gold (about 40 pounds per talent, or 1.6 million pounds of gold) Aristotle had written a book and Alexander, out conquering the world, objected and said, 'Why do you tell people our Most Excellent Knowledge?' I think Aristotle wrote one thing for the world and Greek Religions, and another for Alexander. I understand he was able to demonstrate to Alexander an Eclipse of the Moon and to show Alexander, as a boy, that the Earth was round, 'See it's shadow on the Moon?, and that the Earth and Moon revolved around the Sun.
