@germuesi They were greek in a cultural way, remember that nationalism and nation states are a 19th century concept. It is, however, more than likely that the pre-socratic thinkers were influenced by eastern thought. The birthplace of many pre-socratic philosophers lies in what is now western Turkey, these ideas could very well be traveling along existing trade routs.
