Oh, probably some cave man a few hundred thousands of years ago spotted it.

No-one got here across Mars. Mars is extremely seen with the bare eye, so this is been time-honored to the main historical human beings even till now any form of 'discovery' would have ever been recorded.

The Egyptions and Greeks and ancient Chinease faw mars in the sky, yes you don't need a telescope to see it. The called them wadering stars and named them after there gods because they didn't follow the rest of the stars around the anual cycle of the sky. But who discovered that is was another world, that would prolly have to go to galileo who was the first to look at it with a telescope and see it was a disk and not just a pin pric of light.

Mars at its close approaches is the brightest star in the night sky, and noticeably moves relative to the other stars. Because it is so conspicuous, Mars, like the other naked-eye planets, has been known since prehistoric times.

Mars is much like Venus-- it's very bright and therefore easily spotted in the night sky.
Because of this, we don't know who exactly discovered Mars.
We do know it was named after the Roman god of war, because its reddish color reminded people of blood.

It's big and bright. So, the first person to ever look up. That was millions of years ago.
