Now, for the first time, read the
complete story of these remarkable people and the ancient Mediterranean.
The
Phoenicians arose on the shores of Lebanon, became masters of rich sea
trade, brought us the alphabet, purple cloth, Carthage and Hannibal. That
much everyone knows. But there was much more to their story.
They
were intimately involved with the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians in many of
the epic events of the ancient Mediterranean. Through their eyes we now
learn much more about those great events. And see echoes of these
events in Lebanon today. Deeply
researched, this book used 113 sources, yet it is freshened with many maps
and pictures.
Author
Sanford Holst is widely regarded as one of the world's leading experts on the Phoenician
people. Antoine Khoury Harb is a highly respected professor of history and
archaeology in Lebanon.
