They have been around since the first sentient beings, all sentient beings have fears. Although, they weren't known as "Phobia's" until the late greek period, all phobia names are greek as "Phobia" is greek for fear and the beginning word (Eg necro for fear of death) is greek for whatever the fear is of (so "Necro" means death in Greek)
