The most famous ancient Greek astronomer and mapmaker was Claudius Ptolemy. He lived in the second century AD and is best known for his work "Almagest," which compiled and expanded upon previous astronomical knowledge, laying the foundation for future astronomical studies. Additionally, his geographical work, "Geographia," provided detailed maps and descriptions of the known world, influencing cartography for centuries. Ptolemy's contributions significantly shaped both astronomy and geography in the ancient world.
