When and where did Saint John the Apostle become a saint?
The answer depends on whether "saint" is to be understood in the Roman Catholic sense or in the Biblical sense. Roman Catholic doctrine reserves the title "saint" to those who have been recognized as such by the Roman Catholic Church and declared so by the Pope. Not being Roman Catholic, I don't know when this was declared with regard to John. The Bible applies the word "saint" to all believers in Christ. Even though people are not holy (saint means holy person), through faith in Christ they are declared holy ("justified") and treated as holy by God. In Bible usage the word applies to both living and deceased believers. In Biblical usage, then, John became Saint John when he came to faith in Jesus as his Savior.
What were some of the Greek ideas that dominated European thinking?
The most important one was mathematics. Astronomy dominated science for centuries (Astronomy was considered a branch of mathematics). Aristotle's views of science continued to be taught as canon by the Catholic Church way beyond their usefulness. Plato cum Philo cum Plotinus influenced the early church in ways that are still part of Christian doctrine today. Concepts like logos, spiritual interpretations of natural events, mystical union with the devine, dividing of personality into body and soul, and even personal salvation, all come from Greek ideas. Especially from the neo-Platonic interpretation of Plato's dialogues.
