The Lantern · Movie Review: “The Phoenician Scheme” fiddles with mortality, corruption and family dynamicsAfter miraculously surviving six plane crashes, Zsa-zsa Korda (Benicio del Toro) has done what no “Final Destination” character could do in six movies — cheat death. Wes Anderson’s latest film, “The Phoenician Scheme,” released in theaters Friday. The film follows Korda — a wealthy, corrupt businessman — as he evades multiple assassination attempts, reconciles with […]

In Greek mythology, Europa (/jʊəˈroʊpə, jə-/; Ancient Greek: Εὐρώπη, Eurṓpē, Attic Greek pronunciation: [eu̯.rɔ̌ː.pɛː]) was a Phoenician princess from Tyre and the mother of King Minos of Crete. The continent of Europe is named after her. The story of her abduction by Zeus in the form of a bull was a Cretan story; as classicist Károly Kerényi points out, "most of the love-stories concerning Zeus originated from more ancient tales describing his marriages with goddesses. This can especially be said of the story of Europa."

🧬 **Phoenician culture spread mainly through cultural exchange**

"_Individuals with North African ancestry lived next to and intermingled with a majority of people of mainly Sicilian-Aegean ancestry in all sampled Punic sites, including Carthage. Moreover, genetic networks across the Mediterranean suggest that shared demographic processes—such as trade, intermarriage, and population mixing—played a critical role in shaping these communities._"

🔴 Putting Phoenicia on the Map. From the Greeks to Ernest Renan’s Mission

"This imaginary Phoenicia entered historiography and
cartography as a reality, not only in France but also in the
Ottoman Realm, then the sovereign entity over the Levant.
The toponym was used, anachronistically, for Biblical
maps to refer to the Sidonians and the Tyrians of the Ancient Testament. Already, in the popular Van Dyck-Smith Arabic translation of the Bible, the versions illustrated with maps showed a “Phoenicia” in the time of David and Solomon."

Yes, Yehawmilk is a real name lol. He was King of Byblos (Phoenicia - modern day central Lebanon).

FYI, the word Bible comes from Byblos... Byblos was a major port where papyrus—a material used for making scrolls and early books—was imported and traded throughout the ancient world.

🔴 Phoenician Trade Associations in Ancient Greece

“Such associations were a Phoenician invention of the 4th century BCE that emerged in migrant communities in Athens to represent their interests and provide them a social and physical space for maintaining religious and other cultural ties to their home state.”

“The extent to which the worship of Baal and Asherah affected Israel’s understanding of Yahweh is seen in the inscriptions found at Kuntillet Ajrud. Jezebel was not fully responsible for the ongoing worship of Canaanite deities in Israel and Judah but her reign gave legitimacy to the long held tendency.”

Dolan, M. (2024) “Jezebel: A Hebrew Disaster”, Buried History: The Journal of the Australian Institute of Archaeology, 40, pp. 39–48. doi.org/10.62614/7d25h288

"We argue that during the Late Iron IIA, the Kingdom of Israel, probably under the Omrides, replaced a small Phoenician village with a fortified casemate enclosure in order to control and institutionalise the production of the dye and other industries. These peaked under Jeroboam II, and subsequently the fort was ravaged during the period of unrest in Israel after this monarch’s reign."

"This paper compares Rider Haggard’s use of this analogy in his novel Elissa or the Doom of Zimbabwe with other writers of his time who compared Britain to the Phoenicians. Haggard emerges as deeper, more wide-ranging and sophisticated in his use of the ‘Phoenician analogy’ than other writers who employed it."
