There was a considerable compilation of chemical information even before the Greeks began to organise empirical observations into science.
Hellenic or Greek philosophy and science started in philosophic schools in the city of Miletus, in lonia on the western coast of Asia Minor (modern Turkey), in day the 6th century B.c. (600-500 B.c.)
The first philosopher Thales of Miletus 620-546 B c.) is credited for first developing a true scientific conception -- to define general principles and set forth hypotheses -- and hence has been called the Father of Science.
Thales was the first in the long line of Greek thinkers who sought knowledge for its own sake, not for practical need. He attempted to explain his ideas concerning the nature of the world in physical terms without referring to myth, which had become the chief characteristics of the lonian school of philosophy, and the essential conception for scientific thinking.
