细节理解题。由文中第四段的句子“The signs they used were very easy to write and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system. This was because each sign or letter represented only one sound in their language. The Greeks developed this system and formed the letters of the Greek alphabet.”的分析我们知道，希腊的文字更容易写，符号更少，每个符号只代表一个读音。没有提到希腊字母容易发音，故选C。
