They still had all of the teachers and the grown ups just put all the kids back into the schools...
it's one of these:
They discovered old scrolls left behind by the Minoans and Mycenaeans.
They adapted the Phoenician alphabet to their own language
They learned Sumerian cuneiform and changed it over the years.
The Macedonians taught them to write after they were conquered by Alexander the Great.

∙ 9y agoThe Ancient Greeks as a civilization learned how to write from the Phoenicians and used an altered form of the Phoenician alphabet to transcribe Ancient Greek. As for how individual Ancient Greeks learned how to write, wealthy Greeks would be apprenticed to scribes who would teach them how to read and write.

Is ancient Greek a hard language to learn?
It is the basis of modern Greek, but is changing rapidly as the Greeks are 'Europeanising' their language. Up to 50 years ago it was a compulsory subject at Greek schools, but this has been discarded.
What civilization had the greatest influence on the Roman Empire?
It was the Greeks. This started very early as the Greeks settled in southern Italy and Sicily between the 8th and 6th century BC. The Greeks were a more advanced civilisation and had a profound impact on the Italic peoples they came in contact with. The Italic peoples at that time lived in daub and-wattle huts. They learnt to build stone temples and houses from the Greeks. They did not have a written language and adopted the western Greek alphabet. Trade with the Greeks also developed. Over time the Roman elites came to look up to the Greeks. They received an education in both Latin and Greek and spoke Greek fluently. The pinnacle of education for elite men was a stay in Greece to learn Greek philosophy. Rome had Greek libraries as well as Latin ones. Roman art became Greco-Roman art because it was influenced by Greek art. The Romans absorbed substantial parts of Greek mythology and Roman goods became linked to Greek gods. They also adopted the divination books of the Sibyls, who were Greek oracles.

How did trade lead to the rise of greek civilization?
Trade was a major reason for the rise of the Greek civilization. Their control of the Eastern Mediterranean allowed them to control trade with the advanced cultures on the coast like the Egyptians, Phoenicians, and the Persians. Early Greeks were able to learn from each of these cultures and combine and improve on their ideas forming the basis for an advanced civilization of their own. Through trade they became rich and powerful. Money made from trade made it possible to build large fleets and armies and begin to conquer surrounding territories. >>>i wrote this myself so if you just copy the whole thing it IS plajerizing.<<<
