The Greeks did not use hieroglyphs, in fact they could not understand Egyptian hieroglyphs. By the 8th century BC the Greeks developed various related alphabets based on early Phoenician letters, including the Theran, Cretan, Ionian, Athenian, Corinthian, Naxos, Argos, Boeotian and Euboean alphabets.

At Mycenae and on Crete, the Bronze Age people used Linear A and Linear B scripts which are not hieroglyphs but syllabic writing supported by ideograms.
