The Greeks assigned what magnitude to the brightest stars seen in the night sky?
The brightest stars were traditionally magnitude 1; the weakest that could still be seen with the naked eye, 6. This system has been formalized and refined; as a result, there are now not only magnitudes with decimals, but also negative magnitudes for the very brightest stars and planets. For example, Venus has a magnitude of approximately minus 4.

How do you describe the stars of the first magnitude?
"First magnitude" usually means the brightest 21 stars, as seen from Earth. Another definition is stars with apparent magnitudes 0.5 to 1.5. This definition excludes the very brightest stars, like Sirius. They are the first stars that become visible after sunset and they all have names. Examples are Altair, Aldebaran, Capella, Spica, Antares, Fomalhaut, Deneb, Regulus, Sirius, etc. There can be confusion because First Magnitude stars are not stars with an "apparent magnitude" of exactly "one". They are just the brightest stars, but naturally their magnitudes are close to one.
