Homer and the Origin of the Greek Alphabet Paperback - 1996
by Barry B. Powell
First line
About the ancestry of the shapes and the order of names of the signs used in the first Greek alphabet there is no serious question.
From the rear cover
The purpose of this challenging book is to inquire systematically into the historical causes that underlay the radical shift from earlier and less efficient writing-systems to the use of alphabetic writing. The author declares his conclusion to be a possibly surprising one - that a single man, perhaps from the island of Euboea, invented the Greek alphabet specifically in order to record the Iliad and the Odyssey of Homer.
