Best Answer

Most early Ancient Greek writing was used for administrative purposes but as time progressed it was used for recording history and artistic endeavors. Literacy was probably as low as 5% so most work was still recited to the masses.

The earliest form of Greek was Linear B, not really an alphabet but a combination of phonetic sounds and pictograms. This language died out for no apparent reason, and didn't evolve into anything. Classical Greek appeared about 400 years later, sprouting from Phoenician.
