 Gaius Julius Hyginus, who recorded much Roman mythology, mentions in "Fab.277" the legend that it was Carmenta, the Cimmerian Sibyl, who altered fifteen letters of the Greek alphabet to become the Latin alphabet, which her son Evander introduced into Latium, supposedly 60 years before the Trojan War, but there is no historically sound basis to this tale.Below is a table synoptically showing selected Proto-Sinaitic signs and the proposed correspondences with Phoenician letters.
