The Greek Alphabet l 800 BC

Post an example of the Greek alphabet in visual form. 
How did Greeks come in contact with the Phoenicians? Because of the adaptation of the phoenician letterforms.

How was the Greek adaptation of the alphabet different from its predecessor? Several of the consonants were adapted as vowels.

Why is the Greek alphabet considered to be the world's first true alphabet? It has given rise to many others alphabets including the Latin alphabet.

Name several similarities and differences between the Greek and modern English alphabets?
