# The alphabet. The ancient Greeks had lost the use of their old alphabet, known as linear-B, during the Greek Dark Ages. When Greece began to emerge from the Dark Ages, it adopted and modified the Phoenician alphabet. The Romans, in turn, adopted and modified the Greek alphabet, to become the alphabet we use in the West. # Trade and commerce. The Phoenicians were great maritime traders.
