Theodorus of Cyrene was born in Cyrene and spent most of his life in Athens, Greece. He was a Greek mathematician of the 5th century BC who was admired by Plato (who mentions him in several of his works). Little is known about him; however, Plato attributes to him the first proof of the irrationality of the square roots of 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 17. The method he used is not stated, but since he stopped at 17, it seems possible that he used the traditional Pythagorean method of odds and evens, since 17 is the first number for which this method breaks down.

What was the earliest form of government in ancient Greece?
Originally, Greece (Mycenae) had a ruler or monarch, until the rise of the separate city-states that created competing systems of government.
The earliest urban society in Greece was the palace-centred Minoan Civilization, which reached its height on Crete c.2000 BC. It was succeeded by the mainland Mycenaean civilization, which arose c. 1600 BC following a wave of Indo-European invasions. About 1200 BC a second wave of invasions destroyed the Bronze Age cultures, and a Dark Age followed, known mostly through the epics of Homer. At the end of this time, Classical Greece began to emerge (c. 750 BC) as a collection of independent city-states, including Sparta in the Peloponnese and Athens in Attica. The civilization reached its zenith after repelling the Persians at the beginning of the 5th century BC (see Persian Wars) and began to decline after the civil strife of the Peloponnesian Wars at the century's end. In 338 BC the Greek city-states were taken over by Philip II of Macedon, and Greek culture was spread by Philip's son Alexander the great throughout his empire. The Romans, themselves heavily influenced by Greek culture, conquered the city-states in the 2nd century BC. After the fall of Rome, Greece remained part of the Byzanthine Empire until the mid-15th century, when it became part of the expanding Ottoman Empire.

Which of the Greeks contribution was the most important and why?
the Greeks create alot of things and made the world better basicly picked up where the cavemans left off
Yes and No. Maybe. Mythological stories are stories from long ago that explained the world to the people back then. An interesting thing about many of them (e.g.Greek, Roman, Native American) is that they share stories of the flood, the people are similar with different names and the phrasing can be similar. Mythology is an interesting field of study.
