First English Paperback Edition "The Phoenicians have always caught the imagination of historians and poets alike; they were celebrated by Homer as daring navigators and colonists, whose ships crossed the Mediterranean from end to end and even sailed beyond the Pillars of Hercules. It is as a great maritime people that they have left their mark on the ancient world. . . .
