Aristotle had the idea that all the matter in the universe could be divided into five categories, which are fire, earth, air, water, and the mysterious quintessence. While this idea is not directly applicable to chemistry as we know it today, it does oddly resemble the concept of the phases of matter, those being solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. If we merge the Aristotelian concepts of fire and quintessence, we have a reasonable approximation of the phases of matter.

Thales, a Greek philosopher who is thought to have lived around 625 to 546 BC, was famed for his knowledge of astronomy and may also have brought geometry to Greece. He is known only through references to him in Aristotle's Metaphysics.
