The ancient geek philosopher i chose is Aristotle. this man was very important in ancient times and did man things. for one, he tough alexander the great (who was extremely wealthy) and he gave him access to the lyceum. he lived to be about 82 which is pretty long for a guy of that time period. some of his main ideas during his time Golden mean, Aristotelian logic, Syllogism, Hexis, Hylomorphism, and the Theory of the soul. during his life he interacted with plato, another greek philosopher. he thought of another element known as Aether (which would aslo go along with earth, air, fire, and water). this 5th element had to do with heaven and it was a divine substance. he was also involved with the 4 causes and the second person to have an idea/plan with optics.
