While many concepts on astronomy of the ancient Greeks are no longer relevant, many of their ideas were used to guide astronomers today in establishing concepts more valid. The ancient Greeks had no clear division of science and philosophy. Neither did they have separate and developed fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, and astronomy. The formerly deficient range of information the ancient Greeks had, allowed an individual to become an expert in several fields whereas nowadays, there is…

Strong women have been a mystery throughout the history of our known world. Each woman has her own power inside herself; how she uses her power defines the influence on her culture and the rest of the world.

Athens supported the oligarchy in the times of stasis in Miletus and made little to no effort to persuade its leaders to transform into a democracy. A decree of 434 B.C with an Athenian-style prescript implies that it became a democracy in that year, but there is no evidence that Athens promoted this change. They…

The Ancient Greek astronomers played an integral part in the construction of modern astronomy and our current understanding of our solar system. They were far from the first ancient astronomers; most of their work was built upon pre-existing knowledge from the Babylonians and Egyptians. However, what distinguishes the Ancient Greek philosophers from their predecessors was their attempt to not only observe the night sky but also to understand it. The Greek astronomers theorised the workings of…
