Quintessence

The concept of the four elements was first proposed by the Ancient Greeks and later built on by Aristotle who suggested a fifth cosmic element, unable to believe that the stars could be made up of anything terrestrial. The original four were the pure building blocks that made up all matter and were the fundamental components of every visible thing on earth. 

Quintessence
As the theory expanded, even human temperament was categorized according to the four elements and Hippocrates theory of four “humors” linked personality traits and inner balance to four bodily fluids associated with earth, water, air, and fire. For thousands of years the element theory was the basis of philosophy, science, and medicine and played a role in various religions throughout the world.
