The Phoenicians played a fundamental role in shaping the history of
the Mediterranean. Lauded by Homer as unrivalled navigators and
traders, they are known to have founded colonies across the length
of North Africa and into Southern Spain, yet as a people they have
often remained an enigma. This introduction aims to unravel some of
the mysteries surrounding this ancient culture. Presenting the
latest research and archaeological discoveries, it explores the
social, political, economic and ecological changes that occurred in
Phoenicia between the Early Bronze Age and the start of the
Hellenistic era. Phoenician government and society, agriculture and
economy, trade and colonisation, warfare, religion, and art and
architecture are all discussed in order to illustrate the character
and achievements of this vibrant civilisation, which was able to
maintain its unique identity and culture in the face of external
threats from states such as Egypt, Assyria, Babylon and Persia.
