The Phoenicians / Aldo Massa, Genève 1977, blz 41 (boek 27). “About the year 1000 or 900, supremacy shifted from Sidon to Tyr. After it had been captured and sacked by the Philistines, Sidon took a very long time to recover. Yet this city had already done so much for the glory and the cause of the Phoenicians nation that the name Sidonian remained, for many years to come, the common name of the entire race, both in Syria and further West.” En: “One thing is certain: Tyr pursued the work commenced by Sidon, only on a larger scale and with greater daring.”   G.Markoe maakt in boek 323 (The Phoenicians) de treffende vergelijking tussen Genua/Venetië en Tyrus/Sidon.   Omstreeks deze tijd vind de daadwerkelijke stichting plaats van Gadir en Utica door Tyrus. Maar niet alles gebeurt door Tyrus. Volgens de Grieken was er een havenstad Phoenix op de zuidkust van Kreta nabij de stad Araden. Speelt Arados hier een rol?           See for more information and in the English language:   http://www.facebook.com/groups/phoenicia.history.legacy/   email: phoenicia.history@groups.facebook.com

The Phoenicians / Aldo Massa, Genève 1977, page 41 (book 27). “About the year 1000 or 900, supremacy shifted from Sidon to Tyr.

Yet this city had already done so much for the glory and the cause of the Phoenicians nation that the name Sidonian remained, for many years to come, the common name of the entire race, both in Syria and further West.” En: “One thing is certain: Tyr pursued the work commenced by Sidon, only on a larger scale and with greater daring.”   G.Markoe publishes in book 323 (The Phoenicians) the striking comparison between Genoa / Venice and Tyre / Sidon. About this time takes place the actual foundation of Gadir and Utica by Tyrus. But not everything is done by Tyrus. According to the Greeks there was a port city Phoenix on the south coast of Crete near the town Araden. Arados plays a role here?
