Eratosthenes made a remarkably accurate calculation of the size of the earth around 200 BC. So the ancient Greeks certainly knew the world was a sphere.

It is incorrect to say that sphere has lateral area. First sphere do not have sides like other geometric figure. In fact a line or plane can intersect the surface of a sphere in just one point.
