Smells Like Greek Astronomers

Smells like Greek Astronomers

Look upon stars, bring your Greeks
It's fun to gaze and to study
She's Aglaonice and first-female
Oh no, I know a sorceress

Lunar, lunar, lunar, eclipses
Predicted, predicted, predicted, she did
Lunar, lunar, lunar, eclipses
Predicted, predicted, predicted

With the stars out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, Hypatia
She taught math, and astronomy
Here we are now, Hypatia
A daughter, a thinker
A designer, the astrolabe

Yeah, hey, yay

It charts at what stars do best
And for this blade, I feel celestial
Theon little girl has always been
And always will until her end

Thales, Thales, Thales, the first
Solar, solar, solar, eclipse
May, 28th, 585, BCE
Thales, Thales, Thales

With the stars out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, Eratosthenes
He felt bright, and calculating
Here we are now, Eratosthenes
A librarian, a math guy
A circumference, our Earth

Yeah, hey, yay
And I forget, just who made this
Oh yeah, Antikythera Mechanism
It was very hard, it was hard to find
Oh well, whatever, maybe…

Archimedes, Archimedes, Archimedes, hello!
Screw, screw, screw, how though?
Sun, moon, planets, their motion
Archimedes, Archimedes, Archimedes

With the stars out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, Hipparchus
He felt starry, and intelligent
Here we are now, Hipparchus
Equinoxes, precession
A lot stars, his catalog

Aglaonice, Hypatia
Thales, Eratosthenes
Archimedes, Hipparchus
Some Greek, Some Greek
Astronomers
