Question 4 • FL-2109010-M/J World History B
Trade connected the Greeks with other Mediterranean peoples, including the Phoenicians, whose alphabet the Greeks adapted. It also brought goods such as dyes and glass, encouraged the exchange of ideas, and created competition that helped improve art and pottery. As trade expanded, merchants became a more important group in Greek society. Greek culture was influenced by these contacts, but it was not taken over by Phoenician culture, and trade did not inherently cause confusion about prices.
