Not counting Hippocrates and Eratosthenes, who I personally think are both worth mentioning, there is one mathematician who is DEFINATElY missing from this list:
Eudoxos
With the possible exception of Archimedes, he was the most productive mathematician of all antiquity.
Furthermore, it might be an idea to specify that you are talking about Zeno of Elea and not Zeno of Sidon.

Would you like to write those articles?

I need to look over my source material, which I will have access to in just under two weeks. After that, I'll tell you what I can do. Aristotle, Plato, Zeno, Thales and maybe Eudoxos shouldn't be too hard to manage, though.

Oh good
I reserve Diophantus. Algebrists are always in my favour
