The Greek alphabet, developed around the 8th century BCE, was based on the Phoenician script but included vowels, enhancing its usability for the Greek language. This innovation allowed for greater precision in writing and contributed to the preservation of important literary works. The adoption and adaptation of this writing system marked a significant cultural development in ancient Greece.
