I'd go for the classic textbooks rather than search on the internet. This is essentially the Hellenic Age, and you'll find a chapter in Daniel Robinson's An Intellectual History of Psychology, in D. B. Klein'a A History of Scientific Psychology, in Robert Watson's The Great Psychologists, in Viney & King's A History of Psychology. On the internet you may find information on specific persons from that time period. There is a short time-line in William Sahakian's History of Psychology. A more extended timeline is available in Warrent Street's A Chronology of Noteworthy Events in the History of American Psychology--you might check the dates for Aristotle, Plato, Democritus, Anaxagoras.

Or, you might try my & Phil Groff's book: _Early Psychological Thought: Ancient Accounts of Mind and Soul_ (Praeger, 2003).
