The Greeks were very close to Calculus.



i'm pretty sure lots of greek people know calculus, learning latin isn't that hard, and there are actual calculus textbooks in greek now anyway

if, on the other hand, you mean classical athens (platon and sokrates and all those dudes) then, no, they weren't, archimedes wasn't even born until like 180 years later
