The Greeks were the pioneers of the "Mechanistic" method of looking at the world, eschewing the old notions of telling stories about why things happened. They no longer asked "why" just "How". This was the beginning of the "Scientific Method". The transition was not sudden. Aristotle was considered a great scientist, but spoke a lot about an object's "desire" to do this or that. Scholasticism, where questions were answered by often convenient logic lasted through the middle ages. It is said that Oriental science stalled because of the wide-spread belief that an experiment done in isolation could not be useful in the real world.
