Later Greek philosophers defined another two: the wedge and the windlass. The windlass is a bit difficult to make out, because it has the cables and fishing nets wrapped around it.

And finally, during the Renaissance, scientists added the sixth: the inclined plane. It's a bit blurred, because it was dark and I didn't want to use a flash, so the exposure was long and the guy was moving.
