The ancient Greeks believed that celestial objects, such as stars and planets, were divine entities that influenced human affairs and the natural world. They viewed the heavens as a realm of perfect, unchanging forms, contrasting with the imperfections of the earthly realm. This led to the development of Astrology, where the positions and movements of celestial bodies were thought to have significant implications for personal destiny and broader events. Additionally, philosophers like Ptolemy and Aristotle contributed to early astronomical models that sought to explain the movements of these celestial bodies within a geocentric framework.
