It was first developed in Greece between 4-300 BCE. Alexander the Greece was the first to use it for cover on the battlefield, in addition to its use as a siege weapon.

It must be Phocians in Greece who first introduced the catapults. If i remember right, Phocians under Phayllus leadership defeated Phillip II of Macedonia by using catapults. I am not sure if catapults were introduced before Phocians.
