Actually, the earliest uses of Greek language is 扯淡!
Greeks invented the alphabet.
"Almost as interesting as the invention itself are the uses to which the Greeks swiftly put their writings.
... The earliest inscription we have is scratched on an Athenian wine jug of Homer's time, prolaiming playfully that: The dancer of consummate grace will take this vase as his prize.
Not a glint of the green eyeshade of the accountant or a hint of the furrowed brow of the believer. And even when a god is mentioned, as in the three lines of verse inscribed on a drinking cup almost as old as the Athenisan jug, found in the Bay of Naples at Ischia,, the oldest of Greece's many colonies, we could hardly ascribe high seriousness to the poet:
Who am I? None other than the luscious
drinking cup of Nestor. Drink me quickly --
and be seized in lust by golden Aphrodite.
Unlike earlier writing systems, forged to count wealth, to ensure control, to invoke the patronage of a deity, the ancient Greek alphabet announces a civilization of leisure. To hell with your ponderous obsessions; let's have some wine, women, and song."
(SAILING WINE-DARK SEA: Why the Greeks Matter by Thomas Cahill)
According to Thomas Cahill, ancient Greeks set the foundation and framework for the intellectual lives of westerners. Greek alphabet certainly set a certain framework. The framework of wine, woman, and song. Thomas Cahill added irreverence in later paragraphs.
