Greek scientists
Ancient Mediterranean thinkers
Greek scientists is a phrase with two distinct uses.
It may refer simply to scientists from Greece or of Greek nationality.
More often, it evokes the ancient thinkers—Aristotle, Archimedes, Hippocrates, Euclid—who laid foundations for Western science, mathematics, and medicine: Greek scientists first proposed that matter was made of atoms.
