The Greek Alphabet | 800 BC

How did Greeks come in contact with the Phoenicians?
   The Phoenicians regularly traveled to Greece and traded with  them.
How was the Greek adaptation of the alphabet different from its predecessor?
   The letter forms that were consonants were adapted as vowels and a lot more letters were included.
Why is the Greek alphabet considered to be the world's first true alphabet?
   This language gave "birth" to many other languages.
Name several similarities and differences between the Greek and modern English alphabets?
   Som letters of this alphabet have the same look of our letters but each letter in the greek alphabet has  a certain word to it.


Post an example of the Greek alphabet in visual form.
