Empedocles (around 490-430 BC) was a Greek pre-Socratic philosopher and a citizen of Agrigentum, a Greek city in Sicily. Empedocles' philosophy is best known for being the originator of the theory of the four Classical elements, earth, air, fire and water.
A:The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle dismissed Democritus' theory of atoms and believed Empedocles theory that everything on Earth was composed of 4 elements, which are fire, earth, air, and water; he also said that objects in the heavens (the sun & stars etc.) are composed of a fifth element which he called the quintessence (meaning fifth element). Although we now know that the universe is much more complicated than that, Aristotle is quite right if we take this to mean phases of matter, with the phases on Earth being solid (earth) liquid (water) gas (air) and plasma (fire); the quintessence, as it turns out, is also plasma.The ancient Greek philosopher Empedocles proposed that everything in the world was made of a combination of four elements: fire, earth, air, and water. He believed these elements were constantly mixing and separating to create the various forms and substances in the universe.
Aristotle believed that all matter was made up of four elements: earth, air, fire, and water. These elements combined in different proportions to form everything in the natural world.
He said that everything was made of three elements of the universe: Fire, Water, And Earth. Everything was one of the three or a mixture of them. This knowledge lasted for nearly a thousand years in Greece and the Mediterrannean area, that was until they got better scientists, like Leonardo Da Vinci.
The ancient Greek philosophers believed in four basic elements: earth, water, air, and fire. They believed that everything in the physical world was made up of varying combinations of these elements.
Yes, in ancient Greek philosophy, it was believed that all matter was composed of these four elements: air, earth, fire, and water. They thought that different proportions of these elements gave rise to the diversity of materials found in the world. This concept was known as the theory of the four elements.
The four elements believed by Greek philosophers are earth, water, air, and fire. They believed that these elements made up everything in the universe and that changes occurred through the interplay of these elements.

The four elements theory is what the Greeks thought about what made everything. This was disproved by Robert Boyle. Because you can't make gold out of earth, air, fire and/ or water can you?
earth, air, fire and water.
Earth, fire, air, and water.
Earth, air, fire and water are the elements
fire is not the strongest because any thing can take it out water wind and earth, water is not the strongest because it can evaporate and it can be stopped at any cost. earth is definatly not the strongest because water can carve it, fire can melt it if hot enough, and it can't do anything about the wind. so therefoer wind is the strongest because it blows fire away, without wind water would be nothing, and if earth did'nt have wind everything would be hot and destroyed by fire. so wind is the most dominant

It was thought that the four basic elements were earth, air, water, and fire.

the Greeks thought it was air, water, earth and fire but they were wrong
they thought the world was made of Aristotle's Earth, water, air, and fire.
