When it comes to Greek antiquity, popular imagination can usually be summed up in a few words: arts, literature, philosophy; a couple of mathematical theorems, perhaps, or a set of strange, entertaining myths.
What escapes most people, though, is the height of technological achievements and innovations of the Greeks, spanning all areas of human activity in their time. The spirit of exploration and constant improvement in sciences and engineering led to significant inventions that, even though they sound quite modern, are actually much older than we think.
