I quote wikipedia for it too [[ The Euboean alphabet was used in the cities of Eretria and Chalkis and in related greek colonies in southern Italy, notably in Cumae and in Pithekoussai. It was through this variant that the Greek alphabet was transmitted to Italy, giving rise to the Old Italic alphabets, including Etruscan, and ultimately the Latin alphabet ]]hope i helped you . good luck with your essay
