This article presents some basic facts concerning ancient Greek mathematics which contradict many theses of 'The Forgotten Revolution: How Science Was Born in 300 BC and Why It Had To Be Reborn'. The disastrous and distorting negation of existence of early Greek mathematics and its scientific achievements is commonly accepted in some related studies, e.g. on the Pythagoreans. The argument concerns also some problems in modern science and mathematics.
