Why Homer was used as the basis for Greek education What did the Greeks learn from Homer?
Embedded within the narrative of Homer is a complex arrangement of other meanings in alternative syntax.
Thus the narrative can be read in the literal sense. It can also be used, if you understand the key words to pair the key words and decode additional hidden meanings that generally speaking enhance the perspective of the narrative.
Thus Homer was not only a literate tool, but also a mathematical cognative excerise.

What effect did ancient Greek philosophy have on Aquinas?
In general, western medieval philosophy was heavily dependent upon ancient Greek philosophy. The doctrines of the ancient Greek philosophers from the pre-Socratics through Plotinus were extremely influential in setting the agenda for medieval philosophy. The first great Christian thinker was Augustine, whose own original thinking was heavily influenced by, on the one hand, Plato and Plotinus, and, on the other, by Paul's Christian writings. Augustine tried to use the categories of Greek philosophy to render Christian doctrine intelligible. By the time of Aquinas, many of the works of Aristotle, which had been preserved by Islamic scholars, had been recovered (whereas not many of Plato's dialogues were available). Aquinas was so heavily influenced by Aristotle that he simply refers to him as "the philosopher" in his writings. Like Augustine, Aquinas tried to make sense of Christian writings, but he also used Aristotelean categories to try to make Christian thinking consistent with what else was understood about the world. In so doing, he developed the greatest medieval synthesis. Aquinas remains the official philosopher of the Roman Catholic Church. In other words, Greek philosophy in general, and Aristotle's writings in particular, had a powerful effect on Aquinas's thinking.

What in Greek mythology it let free all ills of the world?
Pandora's box You may be thinking of Pandora's box (also referred to as a jar), which, in Greek mythology, contains all the ills and evils that were unleashed into the world when Pandora opened it out of curiosity. The etymology of Pandora's name provided in Works and Days is an incorrect folk etymology. Pandora properly means "all-giving" rather than "all-gifted." An alternate name for Pandora attested on a white-ground kylix (ca. 460 BC) is Anesidora, which similarly means "she who sends up gifts." The vase painting clearly depicts Hephastus and Athena putting the finishing touches on the first woman, as in the Theogony. Written above this figure (a convention in Greek vase painting) is the name Anesidora. More commonly, however, the epithet anesidora is applied to Gaea or Demeter. See Wikipedia article at "Pandora" web link, left.

What year was the ancient Greek alphebet first discovered?
No one 'discovered' it. It was adapted from the Phoenician alphabet in the 8th Century BCE.
Agamemnon took for himself a girl named Chryseis, the daughter of a priest of Apollo. Because he refused to return the girl to her father, the god released a plague on the camp of the Greeks.
A visionary called Karchas advised him to return the girl, which was supported by Achilles. Agamemnon returned the girl, but then claimed Briseis instead, who was the girl chosen by Achilles. He did this to punish Achilles for his support to Karchas.
Achilles then left the battle and did not return until his friend Patroclus was killed. This apparently meant he viewed Agamemnon with enough respect him that he would ask him to do something for the greater good and have a certain faith that it would be done; but also saw the taking of his own girl as a insult against him and was hurt by it.
Agamemnon respected Achilles enough that at his death, he thought his armour worthy of Odysseus rather then Ajax.
