"Female Idol Head from the Greek Cycladic Islands, in the southwestern Aegean Sea, rich in marble and obsidian. It was there where inhabitants began producing marble vessels and human figures around 4500-2200 B.C. These figures were predominantly representations of women, and were articulated with color to indicate details such as eyes, hair, headbands, or tattoos. This Cycladic Head original of marble 2700–2500 B.C. depicts an early Spedos type. Such figures are often roundly modeled with broad heads tilting upward; Metropolitan Museum of Art"

"Early Cycladic figurine. Original Marble statue of a woman, belonging to the characteristic folded-arm type. It was found on Amorgos and it is the largest known example of the Cycladic sculpture. National Archeological Museum in Athens Inv. no. 3978. The recognition of distinct artistic personalities in Cycladic sculpture is based upon recurring systems of proportion and details of execution. Elegant human body with a distinct mannerism is characteristic of the Bastis Master. Since ancient artists were unknown, the artworks are given conventional designations. The Bastis Master is named after a distinguished private collector of this piece. The Metropolitan Museum of Art"

"Alexander the Great 356; r. 336-323 was the King of Macedonia who defeated the Persian King Darius III Codomannus and conquered the Achaemenid Empire. During his campaigns, Alexander visited Egypt, Babylonia, Persia, Media, Bactria, the Punjab, and the valley of the Indus. On his way to rule his newly conquered countries, he made Babylon his capital and introduced the orient court ceremony. This caused great tensions with his Macedonian and Greek officers."
"Hygeia, the Greek Goddess of Health is the daughter of Asclepios, the God of Medicine. The worship of Hygeia who was not one of the original deities of Greek Mythology, probably started in the fourth century BC at Epidauros in association with the great temple to Asclepios. Today, you will see sculptures of the goddess of health and the god of medicine in medical facilities throughout the world."

"Pythagoras of Samos 569-475 BC, is known as the first pure mathematician. He is an extremely important figure in the development of mathematics. However we have nothing of Pythagoras writings. His half religious and half scientific society, followed a code of secrecy which means that today Pythagoras is a mysterious figure."
