Opis

The story of the Phoenicians is an elusive one. Roman sources suggest that the Phoenicians once had an extensive literature of history, law, philosophy and religion. Frustratingly, all now is lost. Yet the Phoenicians are also credited with the development and transmission of the modern linear alphabet. Glenn Markoe guides the reader through the archaeological, religious and linguistic evidence for this mysterious ancient people. He discusses the many sides to the Phoenicians, who in antiquity were both admired and, especially by their rivals the Romans, despised. Viewed on the one hand as intrepid seafarers who pushed back the boundaries of the known world, and as skilled engineers who built monumental harbours like Tyre and Sidon, the Phoenicians on the other hand were labelled as profiteers willing to trade in human lives. This survey of Phoenician material culture, language, religion, funerary custom, commerce and expansion into the Punic west will prove essential to students and readers interested in the ancient world and the ancient history of the Mediterranean.
