1. Posidonius

   Linked via "tides"

   Tides and Lunar Influence
   One of Posidonius’s most significant contributions was his detailed investigation into the causes of the tides. He was the first Greek scholar to accurately observe and document that the timing of high tides corresponded systematically with the phases of the Moon [6]. He correctly deduced that the Moon’s gravitational or attractive influence was the primary driver, although he described this influence via the mediating mechanism of pneuma.
