Best Answer

The Greek alphabet did not originally have lower case letters, neither did it have accent marks, nor did it have spaces between letters. In fact, originally the Greeks originally used the Phoenician Alphabet. Then the Greeks used three different Alphabets for the three different Greek languages or dialects. Finally Alexander the great united them into Koine Greek. Punctuation was added when the great library in Alexandria was built. The Greek alphabet as we know it was created by Erasmus in the early 1500s.
