It is difficult to fairly ascribe to Greece the roots of [[science]], since science as a recognizable discipline only became distinguishable rather recently, but for most of history what we consider science has been entwined with philosophy and politics, and in that form the Greeks (particularly [[Archimedes]]) were once more the progenitors.  To this end, they created the first siege engines, the first alarm clock, and many other inventions.
