Overview

From the realm of myths to the grounds of reason. The amazing journey of Ancient Greece from blind faith to the search of explanations for all things unknown!

The ancient landmarks provide the best scenery to overview this amazing transformation.

The pre-Socratic philosophers gave us what may be regarded as the only true “discovery” in science: that our world can be understood through natural laws whose identification could enable humans to comprehend their surroundings, and even themselves…

Let's explore together this fascinating shift in human perception and find out where we stand today!
