Question

How did Greek scientists change the way people viewed and understood the natural world around them? How did common Greeks explain natural events prior to scientific explanations? Put it into 1-2 sentences.

Answer 1

Greek scientists, by pioneering systematic observation and logical reasoning, shifted the understanding of the natural world from mythological and superstitious explanations to empirical investigation and rational inquiry. Prior to this, common Greeks attributed natural events to the will of the gods or supernatural forces, often interpreting phenomena through the lens of mythology and religious beliefs.
