Which came first, the Hebrew Alefbet or the Greek alphabet?

The archaic Hebrew Alefbet is older, and not very different from the Phoenician Alefbet which developed at about the same time. The modern square Hebrew dates to the Babylonian Captivity, the letters are the same as the archaic ones. The Greeks seem to have gotten the idea of an alphabet from the Phoenicians, and went on to improve it by making some letters into real vowels.

How did Alexander the Great spread the Culture?

Contrary to popular belief, Alexander the Great was in many ways much more then a conqueror. He spread what he believed (Greek Myths stories and beliefs) Wherever her went, and showed respect towards the citizens of places he conquered. He was said to have made a mess of battles, IE he made it a true bloodbath, but this is not quite true. He did what he had to do to win... I could sit here and type all day, but that's all I can tell you about how he spread Greek Culture.

How did the Phoenicians spread their alphabet?

The ancient mercantile civilization of Phoenicia helped to spread civilization in ancient times primarily through its daring, far-ranging seafaring voyages. Motivated by trading interests above all, yet perhaps also spurred on by the desire to explore for its own sake, Phoenician traders were for many generations the "go-betweens" of older civilizations in the east and newer, rougher societies elsewhere in the Mediterranean and beyond. They carried trade goods, yet at the same time they carried technologies, ideas, and values from one point to another.
