I am presuming that by 'periodic elements' you are meaning modern elements, as opposed to Aristotle's fire, earth, air, and water, and aether.
There was no periodic law until 1869, so no element becomes 'periodic' until after that date -- hardly 'ancient'.
The seven metals known to the ancients were associated with the known heavenly bodies, and therefore inherited their astrological symbols
Moon silver
Saturn lead
Jupiter tin
Venus copper
Mercury mercury
Mars iron
Sun gold
The two non-metallic elements known to the ancients were sulfur and carbon. Sulfur has several different alchemical symbols associated with it, but the simplest and most plausibly ancient is an equilateral triangle on its flat base with a + sign hanging from the centre of the base. About carbon I have no idea.
No single scientist has devised the symbols of the elements. An organization called the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has determined the symbols of the elements on the Periodic Table.

No. Most of the symbols for elements are derived from their names in English. Most of the elements were not even known in ancient Greece.
Symbols are the short forms to represent elements. Each element will have a unique symbol.

The symbols of elements were created by various scientists over time based on the element's name, properties, or Latin name. One of the most well-known contributors to the modern periodic table and element symbols is Dmitri Mendeleev, who is credited with arranging the elements by their atomic mass and predicting the properties of undiscovered elements.

All the elements listed on periodic table has symbols for them.There are total 118 elements in periodic table.
Symbols of chemical elements are derived from the chemical name.

some elements do not use their first letters of their English names as their symbols. The symbols for these elements may come from the names of the elements in a different language.

The four elements of the triangle symbols are fire, water, air, and earth.
