I read that the Greeks may have had their origins as Canaanites.

That would be surprising as Caanites spoken a Semitic languge while Greek is Indo-European.

Nope. The languages aren’t even in the same family. However, ancient Greeks wrote of Cadmus having intro’d the alphabet to Greece.

Opposite. I believe the Philistines of Old Testament renown, were Greeks who over time mixed with local Cannanites.
