The proem to Herodotus's history of the Greek-Persian wars relates the long-standing
conflict between Europe and Asia from the points of view of the Greeks' chief antagonists,
the Persians and Phoenicians. However humorous or fantastical these accounts may be,
their stories, as voiced by a Greek, reveal a great deal about the perceived differences
between Greeks and others. The conflict is framed in political, not absolute, terms
correlative to historical events, not in terms of innate qualities of the participants.
Becky Martin reconsiders works of art produced by, or thought to be produced by, Greeks
and Phoenicians during the first millennium B.C., when they were in prolonged contact
with one another. Although primordial narratives that emphasize an essential quality
of Greek and Phoenician identities have been critiqued for decades, Martin contends
that the study of ancient history has not yet effectively challenged the idea of the
inevitability of the political and cultural triumph of Greece. She aims to show how
the methods used to study ancient history shape perceptions of it and argues that
art is especially positioned to revise conventional accountings of the history of
Greek-Phoenician interaction. Examining Athenian and Tyrian coins, kouros statues
and wall mosaics, as well as the familiar Alexander Sarcophagus and the sculpture
known as the "Slipper Slapper," Martin questions what constituted "Greek" and "Phoenician"
art and, by extension, Greek and Phoenician identity
