The Phoenicians have long been known for their trading, colonizing,
and seafaring skills, but their history has too often seemed to
stop short at the time of Alexander the Great. Alexander's
destruction of the city of Tyre, however, only marked a new stage
in Phoenician history, not its end. During the next three centuries
this numerically small people had to live in a violent world
dominated by Greeks and Macedonians. Their cities were destroyed,
their land was reduced in size, and then divided up among mutually
hostile kings. Yet they survived and enjoyed long periods of peace
in which they evidently prospered. This is the first full account
of Hellenistic Phoenicia. Within the basic chronological framework
of their political history, the study pursues the themes of trade
and economic history and the Hellenization of the Phoenicians'
culture. The adaptation of the Phoenicians to life in the
Hellenistic world shows a number of features common to that world
as a whole, but also some which are distinctive to the Phoenicians
themselves. A final chapter considers the changes in their role in
the world outside their homeland.
