- Comment: The article talks about a "plurality of worlds" (meaning, other worlds similar to Earth, including local life, that may exist elsewhere), that's just the ancient way to talk about extraterrestrial life. For the hook it may be better to use the terms that any casual reader may understand.

- Other problems: - Hook and article wording needs to be changed. It isn't entirely clear from the article if they wanted extraterrestrial life not to exist, versus they just didn't think it actually existed.
QPQ: Done. |

- Actually, it's both things. He didn't think alien life exists, and didn't want (because of his own biases) for it to exist. Yes, perhaps that is faulty logic, but we're talking about ancient Greece. Logic itself was still a recent concept, and some things we know take for granted in discussions (such as a basic scientific method when talking about scientific stuff, or that fallacies make a bad argument) were either new concepts or not created yet. The article makes this clear enough: the way in which the Greeks discussed their ideas, their biases, the slow development of the scientific method, etc. Cambalachero (talk) 17:06, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
