Why are there two Os in the Greek alphabet?
Its a grammar thing, also helps with understanding the roots of the words. This is why in greek there are ''homophone'' letters (same-sound letters like o&ω, ε&αι, ι&υ&η&οι&ει).
If you learn the homophone letters and a few diphthongs (like the English ph) (all together there are about 10, no more) then the Greek is the most easy language to read.(Its still a pain to write as you are not sure which homophone letter to use).
Its very easy to read since every letter is always pronounced in the same way, there are no silent letters, and you enunciate where there is a '' ' '' on a vowel in the word
ex. μαμά its mamA (it means mom).

The Greek alphabet was not the first writing system, or even the first alphabet, but it was unique in its time because it was the first true alphabet in the narrowest sense of the word: it contained symbols that represented every possible sound in the language.
Its importance stems from the fact that previous writing systems either didn't represent sounds at all (such as the pictograms of cuneiform or hieroglyphics), or only represented the consonants of the language (Phoenician and Hebrew). Greek represented consonants and vowels.

Who and when invented Latin alphabet?
The Latin Alphabet has Phoenician origin and it passed indirectly to the Latins: Greeks were the first to adapt and modify the alphabet from Phoenicians and then they passed it to the Etruscans, who they also modified it. Latin Alphabet uses both Etruscan and Greek elements but it was further modified by the ancient Romans to write the Latin language.
However, both Greek and Latin alphabets have significant differences from the Phoenician, which for example had only consonant sounds. Greeks modified the scripts so that they would represent vowel phonemes as well.
The Phoenician alphabet appeared around the 11th century BC and it is believed, without any significant proof, that it is relevant to the Egyptian hieroglyphs through the Proto-Sinaitic alphabet.
