Electricity was not "invented" by a single individual in Greece; rather, the ancient Greeks, particularly Thales of Miletus around 600 BCE, discovered that rubbing amber (electrum) with fur could attract light objects, a phenomenon we now understand as static electricity. This early observation laid the groundwork for later studies of electricity. The modern understanding and utilization of electricity emerged much later, with significant contributions from scientists like Benjamin Franklin, Alessandro Volta, and Michael Faraday in the 18th and 19th centuries.
