it's true, humans knew the earth was round in BCE Greece.

however, I feel like the misconception as it exists now is probably due to weird cultural things getting out of hand way before Flat Earth was a thing. like, I remember as a child in the 1980s having it basically understood, through media perhaps, that prior to Galileo everyone thought this and then I got to school and learned that no, that was wrong. for all I know a joke in Looney Tunes decades ago got twisted in a monstrous game of telephone until everyone and their mother thought it was true.

I think it goes back at least to the 19th century sort of Whig historians, where history is presented as an inevitable march of progress from ignorance to knowledge. It fits into that narrative really nicely to believe that there was this massive ignorance that had to be dispelled - you make yourself look better by making your predecessors look worse. I think there's a specific book by Washington Irving, of all people, that often gets pointed at in particular.
