Mainly because the Greek alphabet has its roots in Phoenician script. Those forms, however, are "backward" from the traditional forms we think of today. So the earliest Greek forms were likewise reversed. For some reason, they eventually mirrored the forms, perhaps as a way to distinguish the two styles. The Romans then copied from the later Greek forms giving us the Alphabet we use today in English.
