Why does Greek sound Spanish?

American Spanish dialects only Argentinian Spanish has the Italian intonation

This a myth. Argentian does not have the same intonation as Italian. I speak both languages and I know what I'm speaking about!

Argentians have one the heaviest accents by speaking Italian amongst the Spanish speaking people

Because of the flat cadence and intonation; in the spanish case, the flat sound comes from Basque influences.

The Greeks influenced over the Spanish since Ancient times.

Yes, the Greeks influenced not only Spain but the whole Western Civilization in the sense that our culture is Greek-latin, and our ways are Roman (The Romans brought the Greek Civilization to spain rather than the Greeks themselves). However, the flat intonation of Spanish comes from Basque not from Greek, as Spanish evolved from the contact between vulgar latin and old Iberian languages like basque.

The Greeks set up colonies in Spain. Probably they influenced on the way people spoke there.

How can you compare Spanish and Greek, the latter is much difficult, nicer, more interesting and with a wonderful alphabet....

I found this topic which seems to give quite a few answers about the Greek language. I thought it would be of interest. It is really interesting.
