The Greek Alphabet | 800 BC

How did Greeks come in contact with the Phoenicians? trade agreements

How was the Greek adaptation of the alphabet different from its predecessor? it didn't only represent only consonants. they were adapted to represent vowels

Why is the Greek alphabet considered to be the world's first true alphabet? because it had vowel sounds and consonant sounds. it had sounds that could be used all around the world. quicker, more informal style for routine types of writing.

Name several similarities and differences between the Greek and modern English alphabets? they had letters for all the sounds not just some sounds. 

Post an example of the Greek alphabet in visual form.
