Ancient Greek Alphabet
In the History of the Persian Wars, 5.58.2, Herodotus says that the Greeks picked up the letters from the Phoenicians, and once they had somewhat altered their shape, they used them as Greek alphabets. And once they started using them, they rightly called them ‘Phoenicians’, since it was the Phoenicians that brought the alphabet into ancient Greece.| Comments on article "Ancient Greek Alphabet" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
