Well, Archemides did a heck of a lot, but a lot of it was designed and used for warfare, so I'm not sure how much counts towards "the success of humans". I guess I'd still pick him, though. He had an enormous reputation in his own time. Eratosthenes, Pythagorus, and Aristotole also contributed a lot in the fields of geography, mathematics, and science respectively.

Galileo was such a genius among the ancient Greeks that he apparently managed to transport himself from ancient Greece to Italy during the Renaissance! I never knew until now that he was an ancient Greek; he must have invented time travel!

I'd call it a tossup between Archemedes and Hero. Archemedes was good at coming up with war weapons, and Hero was building computers and jet engines 3000 years ago!
