Definition
Relating to or belonging to an ancient civilization from the Mediterranean coast (modern-day Lebanon) known for seafaring, trade, and inventing the alphabet.
Etymology
From Greek 'phoinike' meaning 'purple' or 'crimson,' named after the famous purple dye the Phoenicians produced and traded. The civilization itself was centered in Phoenicia, an ancient region on the eastern Mediterranean coast.
Kelly Says
The Phoenicians gave the world one of the greatest gifts ever—the alphabet! They simplified writing so much that anyone could learn it, not just scribes and priests, which eventually led to mass literacy and the modern world as we know it.
