Aristotle - He thought the World was flat.  He didn't think infection caused disease.  He believed in pagen gods. The thing is, many of the Greek thinkers during his time were very advanced, but no one paid attention to them because whatever Aristotle thought was "gospel", and believed.  This thinking put off many scientific discoveries many. many years.
