In ancient times, the four (or five, depending if you were in Europe or Asia) elements, fire, water, earth, and air (In Asia, it was fire, water, air, wood, and metal) were thought to make up all things. In modern day, elements are still though to compose all matter, but we know that there's a lot more than just four or five (and that none of the classic elements were actually elements, except for metal, which could be an element. Most classical elements are what we now call compounds)
