The ancient Greeks are my heros. What they figured out 500 BC is just amazing. And then after Rome destroyed Greece, how it took 2,000 years to regain that level of intellectual sophistication.

I once did a paper looking for any great thinkers after Greece to compare with the likes of Socrates, Plato or Heroclitus. I found none for 1500 years.

Dark Ages.
