3 Relax and meditate and review at Thesion in the evening with the full view of the Acropolis and the smell of honeysuckle and jasmine.
Famous person born in Greece. Where do I start?
If we leave the hundreds of famous ancients for the History books, and the modern day sea lords, one modern Greek with very significant contribution to humanity is Dr. Pap or Dr Georgios Papanikolaou (1883-1962) who invented the Pap-smear test to detect cancer of the cervix in women and it is still being used with no appreciable differences.

A famous person
will recommend the father of world wide web (www)
Michael Dertouzos. Born in Athens in 1934. (Died 2001)His father was an admiral of the Hellenic Navy
He devoted his life in trying to persuade the industry to make computers more accessible to nontechnical audiences, its use in education (something that is common-sense now but was considered as a “crazy idea” at the time), and to oversee development and insure the independence of the Web, leading to the “opening” of WWW to everyone. Under his guidance the MIT computer lab, produced a string of critical innovations, ranging from time-shared computers to spreadsheets, encryption and key Internet technologies, supporting several key high-tech start-ups, such as videoconferencing and the software encryption.
Good Luck with your homework.
