None. It was thought that the Greeks adopted the alphabet and the color named 'tyrian purple'. The reverse is actually the case as the Phoenicians did not have an alphabet they had a cuneiform script lacking any vowels. The Greek proper alphabet of linear A and linear B both predate phoenician cuneiform script.
The archaeological findings in Crete at Komos has unearthed murex shells (used to make 'Tyrian purple', which show that the Minoans cultivated the sea-snail in factory farms for the production of the purple dye at least 300 years before it appeared in Tyre.
The Phoenicians did however become strong traders using the ships and celestial navigation adopted from the Greeks.
