In Search of the Phoenicians Paperback / softback
by Josephine Quinn
Part of the Miriam S. Balmuth Lectures in Ancient History and Archaeology series
Paperback / softback
Description
Who were the ancient Phoenicians—and did they actually exist?The Phoenicians traveled the Mediterranean long before the Greeks and Romans, trading, establishing settlements, and refining the art of navigation.
But who these legendary sailors really were has long remained a mystery.
In Search of the Phoenicians makes the startling claim that the "Phoenicians" never actually existed as such.
Taking readers from the ancient world to today, this book argues that the notion of these sailors as a coherent people with a shared identity, history, and culture is a product of modern nationalist ideologies—and a notion very much at odds with the ancient sources.
