edit: actually ancient Greek skepticism is disbelief, so that's not completely right.
I thought disbelief was the province of the Cynics?
Well, I'm not well versed in Cynicism. But I was thinking Pyrrho, who was said to be needed to be stopped from walking off a cliff by his followers. That's straight up disbelief that the cliff is there. Simple doubt would urge one to stop walking.
