Queen Mary College, University of London For various reasons the Phoenicians have long been overlooked as a serious subject of study by scholars more interested in the brilliant histories of the Greeks and Romans. As a result it has only been in recent years that a sufficient body of evidence has been collected to show that the Phoenicians did in fact have an identifiable society, and that there was a reasonably complete outline of their history. The major points which make up the outline of that history of the Phoenician people are shown in the four academic papers cited here. The full text of those papers and their footnoted sources are available on the identified pages. From a paper presented at Queen Mary College in London From a paper presented at California State University, Long Beach From a paper presented at Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane, Morocco From a paper presented at Marquette University in Milwaukee One result of assembling this inclusive review of Phoenician society and history has been to show us that Roman and Greek history is not diminished in any way by the fact that Phoenician history existed. Research paper author Sanford Holst notes, "When their societies were young, the Greeks and the Romans saw things among other societies -- including that of the Phoenicians -- then made those things better, and even made some of them great." The transcendent role of the Greeks and Romans is not in doubt. In that regard, then, the study of Etruscans, Phoenicians, Egyptians, Hittites and others can be a good preamble for the study of Greco-Roman history. Academic Papers
