From the Introduction: "The 'Phoeni...cians' - the name today conjures up a variety of contradictory images, mirrors of an ambiguous past. One of the great enigmas of the ancient world, the Phoenicians were both lauded and despised in antiquity. They were celebrated - as learned scribes, who passed on the modern alphabet; as vaunted seafarers and intrepid explorers, who redefined the boundaries of the ancient world; as skilled engineers, who built monumental harbours and cities; and as gifted artisans, whose skilful creations were the envy of royalty."
