The Greeks did not 'find' five planets. The Earth and theother five visible planets

have been visible on any clear night for as long as humans have walked the Earth.

They were known to any caveman with normal vision, a touch of insomnia, and

enough brain cells to be interested in the things he saw in the sky.

Why did Greeks see only five stars?

Ah, I'm going to assume you mean the ancient Greeks, and have to say they saw many more than five stars. Modern Greeks might have a problem though; if they live in the heart of a well-lit city, the light can block out the stars. We call it light pollution. But the ancients saw only 5 wandering stars - called planets - because only 5 planets are bright enough to be seen reliably. (Uranus has been glimpsed throughout history, but never tracked.)
