Extractions: It is well known and firmly established that the Aegean Archipelago has been the cradle of civilisation. Most Aegean islands have been the birth place of a number of ancient Greek scientists, men and women. It may be noted as an example that the island of Samos has given birth to not less than 17 ancient scientists. Furthermore on each of the Aegean islands have been found remains of remarkable Works of antiquity, such as Temples, Waterworks, Theatres etc., proving their high degree of civilisation. Again as an example the island of Samos has among other Works the vast Temple dedicated to goddess Hera and the uniquely constructed Aqueduct, dug into the mountain from opposite ends, which met underground with remarkable precision. With the kind permission of the Author of the book "Ancient Greek Scientists", published in Greek, Constantinos Georgakopoulos, we have included in our pages excerpts he has prepared in English, referring to scientists born on some of the larger Aegean islands, together with brief summaries of important Works found on these islands. Those wishing to be able to read some names and text presented also in Greek, would need Greek Fonts.
