  2. Palamedes, he was a greek guy that also invented some of the greek letters

  3. Sophocles 496 - 406 BC, the Greek poet and tragedian, claimed that dice were invented by the Greek, Palamedes, during the siege of Troy.

    Herodotus 484 BC, said they were invented by the Lydians of Asia Minor.

    BUT.......

    Dice date back further than this. Egyptian tombs, dated to 2000 BC, have been found containing dice and dice reputedly dated to 6000 BC have been uncovered in archaeological excavations.  

    Dice were developed independently by many ancient cultures all over the world and did not simply  originate and spread from any one place.
