Ancient Greece people were very interested in science because to them, science creates order and brings them out of chaos, plus they can have their hands on to control weather or oceans. Rich men also spent their money to discovered how astronomy works, first lesson of them were led by Babylonia whom were really reputed astronomies at that time. In 400s BC, Pygargus brought their curiosity about math and music to created mathematical proof. At the Beginning of 450 BC, about the same time as Pythagoras, Hippocrates and other Greek doctors wrote medical texts. They tried to figure out a scientific theory that explained diseases. They thought if you were sick you had too much or too little of four basic substances: blood, black bile, yellow bile, or boogers. That wasn't right though, but it sounded scientific. Socrates developed logical methods for deciding whether something was true or not. In the 300s BC,Aristotle and other philosophers at the Lyceum and the Academy in Athens worked on observing plants and animals, and organizing the different kinds of plants and animals into types. Aristotle's work was yet another way of creating order out of chaos. In around 450 B.C, the Athenian general Pericles tried to consolidate his power by using public money to support artists and thinkers. They spent money for the Pericles in order to build grand monument, buildings in order to increase Athens prestige and his own too. The most noteworthy result of Pericles’ public-works campaign was the magnificent Parthenon, a temple in honor of the city’s patron goddess Athena. The architects Iktinos and Kallikrates and the sculptor Pheidias began work on the temple in the middle of the 5th century B.C.
we know that sculptors such as Pheidias and Polykleitos in the 5th century and Praxiteles, Skopas and Lysippos in the 4th century had figured out how to apply the rules of anatomy and perspective to the human form just as their counterparts applied them to buildings.
Plato (427-347 B.C.E.) was the son of Athenian aristocrats. He grew up in a time of upheaval in Athens, especially at the conclusion of the Peloponnesian war, when Athens was conquered by Sparta. Plato had aspirations for the political life, but several untoward events prevented him away from the life of political leadership, not the least of which was Socrates’ trial and conviction. Plato comes one of the most creative and flexible ways of doing philosophy, which some attempted to imitate by writing philosophical dialogues covering topics still of interest today in ethics, political thought, metaphysics, and epistemology.
