Greece was home to many other "firsts" in the [[humanities]], such as the first [[history]] and [[historian]] ([[Herodotus]], [[Thucydides]], [[Xenophon]]), the whole of the initial development of [[drama|dramatic]] and [[comedy|comedic]] plays, the first practitioners of [[mathematics]], many developments in [[political science]] including the creation of [[democracy]] and [[republic]]s (albeit in [[oligarchy|oligarchic]] form), and virtually the whole of the fundamentals of classical western [[philosophy]], as found in the works of [[Plato]] and [[Aristotle]]. Much of [[architecture]] has its roots in Greece, as well.

Herodotus is often named the "Father of History" ( history, in Greek, means "investigations"). Herodotus wrote the first Western historical chronicle, describing the Persian war. [[Hippocrates]] is known as the "Father of Medicine". He was the first to do a treatise on human anatomy and bodily ailments. He also wrote an oath, known as the Hippocratic Oath, which lays out ethics for physicians and which is still in use today... The Greeks also invented tragedy, the basis of modern plays, skits, and movies. Tragedy started due to [[Eschylus]], [[Sophocles]] and [[Euripides]], and comedy made its appearance with [[Aristophanes]].  <ref>[http://www.economicexpert.com/a/Western:culture.htm Western culture]</ref>
