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.)
What else can I help you with?
Why could the ancient Greeks see only five planets?
The ancient Greeks could only see five planets—Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn—because they lacked telescopes and could only observe celestial bodies visible to the naked eye. These planets were distinguishable from stars due to their apparent motion against the backdrop of fixed stars. The other planets, such as Uranus and Neptune, are too dim and distant to be seen without optical aids. Additionally, the Greeks did not recognize the existence of these outer planets in their astronomical understanding.

Are the stars you see at night in your solar system?
No. All the stars at night that are actually stars are well beyond the solar system. Five "stars" that you sometimes see are actually planets in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. The only actual star in our solar system is the sun.
How many planets were known to the Greeks?
These are the classical planets, those that you can see without a telescope. These are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. they could be seen to be different to the stars, since they changed positions gradually in relation to the other stars (as they orbit the sun)
How old are constellations?
Since ancient Greece maybe, the ancient Greeks named the 88 constellations. Edit: It was probably the Babylonians who really started naming groups of stars. The modern system of 88 constellations was only finalised in the last century. Obviously the Babylonians, Greeks, etc., couldn't even see the stars that can be seen only from the Southern Hemisphere.

It is only dark enough to can see the stars if there is no light pollution. Light causes obstruction in view.
