Description

The Phoenicians by Glenn E Markoe

One of the great enigmas of the ancient world, the Phoenicians were celebrated as scribes, who passed on the first written alphabet; as seafarers and merchants, who from the Levantine coast established a network of trading routes across the Mediterranean; as engineers, who built monumental harbours at their great cities of Sidon, Tyre, Byblos and Carthage, and as artisans, whose craftsmanship was noted by Homer. Yet they also inspired enmity as unscrupulous profiteers and as a morally corrupt people who prostituted and butchered their children in honour of their gods. A superb account of the shadowy people who flourished after the late Bronze Age.
