Alexander was Greek, he was born in the ancient greek kingdom of Macedonia,Which is still in modern greece today. Look in a map of northern greece near mount olympus. The area is called macedonia. The country of macedonia above greece is modern, and was formed in 1991 after the break of of the former yugoslavia. The modern inhabitants of the country of macedonia, are just rejects from slavakia.

Alexander The Great was not greek so you could erase him from this list.He was pure and simple,a Macedonian.

Democritus speculated that all matter was composed of atoms

Pythogaras found that c²=a²+b² (in a right angled triangle)

Thucydides was just this guy who wrote about what had happened

Herodotus was another of these guys

Homer was a bard

Hippocrates was a doctor

Archimedes was the guy who ran naked, shouting "Eureka!!!!", "Eureka!!!" at the top of his voice, he was also keen on moving the world

Euclid played around with lines and circles and stuff like that
