- The alphabet. The ancient Greeks had lost the use of their old alphabet, known as linear-B, during the Greek Dark Ages. When Greece began to emerge from the Dark Ages, it adopted and modified the Phoenician alphabet. The Romans, in turn, adopted and modified the Greek alphabet, to become the alphabet we use in the West.
- Trade and commerce. The Phoenicians were great maritime traders. They established colonies all around the Mediterranean, including Carthage and even Spain. Rome was forced to become more outward-looking as a result of Phoenician expansion.
- Religion. Some, but not all, of the ancient gods and theology of Greece were adopted from Phoenician influence.
