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.
