I'd be happy to do the Greek guys (no, not the Geek Guys - that's us). At least the early ones. I could fill in a little on the Babylonians (who were earlier) as well, if it appears to be worth it.

I have reorganised the project to be ONLY Greek mathematicians now. The previous one was too unwieldy. I will cover them all in time but it makes more sense to deal with them in manageable chunks.
If you get two previous maths articles through peer review (about 2 weeks) then you can sign up with the MI.
By all means start work on whichever mathematicians you pick but I won't send the project into the Towers until you are signed up and I have checked you have obeyed the guidelines for the MI.
If you do the Pythagorean Brotherhood, describe the sacking of their academy after a bitter reject struck back (or maybe the killing of the student who found irrationals.)
Stories exist for all these people, go out and find them
