The Ancient Greeks were the first people to systematically examine the world to attempt to discover why it worked the way it appared to. Their ideas were so influential that, for two millennia, Western science was influenced almost entirely by Greek ideas. The later Romans, Arabs, and medieval Europeans did little more than enlarge on Greek ideas.
The Greek philosopher Thales (624-546 B.C.) is considered to be the first philosopher, as he was the first man in history to ask questions such as "Of what is the Universe made?", and to answer without introducing gods and demons. In later centuries, when the Greeks made up lists of the "seven wise men", Thales invariably was placed first.
The Lydians (allies of the Greek Spartans) and the Medes (dominated by Cyrus the Persian) had been locked in a five-year war in Asia Minor in 585 B.C. On May 28th, the two armies were preparing for a crucial daytime battle when a solar eclipse occurred, one that is believed to have been predicted by Thales, a Greek mathematician. When the Medes and Lydians observed the eclipse, they ceased fighting and signed a peace treaty. Incidentally, this is the earliest event in human history that we are able to assign an exact date to, due to the eclipse. May more interesting facts at http:/www.sentex.net/~ajy/facts/greeksci.html
