The very earliest Greek theory of the structure of the universe pictured Earth at the center with the planets revolving around it at an unchanging rate in simple circles. The Greeks later revised this theory because
A) they observed that the planetary motions are irregular and include such things as retrograde motion.
B) they didn't believe the theory was sufficiently beautiful to represent the eternal gods.
C) they came to believe that the sun should be at the center of things.
D) certain observations led them to the conclusion that Earth has a spherical shape.
E) Actually, the Greeks never did abandon this theory--the theory was not altered until the time of Copernicus.
