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.

How did Europeans become aware of greek thinking?

Europeans became aware of Greek thinking primarily through the translation and preservation of ancient Greek texts by scholars in the Byzantine Empire and the Islamic world during the Middle Ages. The Renaissance, beginning in the 14th century, further facilitated this rediscovery as scholars sought out and translated Greek works, leading to a revival of classical knowledge. Additionally, the fall of Constantinople in 1453 prompted many Greek intellectuals to flee to Western Europe, bringing with them classical texts and ideas that greatly influenced European thought. This resurgence of interest in Greek philosophy, science, and literature laid the groundwork for the Enlightenment and modern Western thought.
