Europeans became aware of Greek thinking primarily through the translation and preservation of ancient Greek texts by scholars in the Byzantine Empire and the Islamic world during the Middle Ages. The Renaissance, beginning in the 14th century, further facilitated this rediscovery as scholars sought out and translated Greek works, leading to a revival of classical knowledge. Additionally, the fall of Constantinople in 1453 prompted many Greek intellectuals to flee to Western Europe, bringing with them classical texts and ideas that greatly influenced European thought. This resurgence of interest in Greek philosophy, science, and literature laid the groundwork for the Enlightenment and modern Western thought.
