Greece was home to many other "firsts" in the [[humanities]], such as the first [[history]] and [[historian]] ([[Herodotus]]), 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.

It is difficult to fairly ascribe to Greece the roots of [[science]], since science as a recognizable discipline only became distinguishable rather recently, but for most of history what we consider science has been entwined with philosophy and politics, and in that form the Greeks (particularly [[Archimedes]]) were once more the progenitors.  To this end, they created the first [[siege engine]]s, the first [[alarm clock]], and many other inventions.
