What is some information on Ancient Greek technology?

Answer 1

The Ancient Greeks, especially, (at least in my opinion) were incredibly technologically more advanced than people give them credit. Some things that were invented during their time were the gear, screw, rotary mills, screw press, bronze casting techniques, water clock, water organ, torsion catapult and the use of steam to operate some experimental machines and toys, truss roofs, cranes, tumbler locks, spiral staircase, crossbow, wheelbarrow, showers, light house, odometer, chain drive, watermill, air and water pumps, surveying tools, analog computers, automatic doors that ran on steam, fire hose, vending machine that dispensed water for coins, and clock towers to name a few. They also had a weapon called Greek Fire that supposedly burned even under water and could sink ships during a battle. No one really knows what Greek Fire was. There are references to it, but unfortunately, nothing very defining. I know some of these things sound pretty remarkable, and for their time, I think they were.

Answer 2

This is a limited answer. Greek technology was fantastic for its day considering they could not make steel. The Greeks took careful observations of everything, but they had no microscopes or other scientific instruments. Their mathematics helped them enormously, whereas the mathematics of the Egyptians was overly complicated. Archimedes, who lived in Syracuse and a bit later than the other great Greek minds, developed technology which the world marvels at today. Heron, a Greek who lived in Alexandria in the 1st Century AD invented the first known steam engine.
