Phoenician religion, via Ancient history encyclopedia website, July 22, 2019 (The most important god at Sidon was Baal, probably equivalent in function to El of Byblos; Much more prominent was Astarte (in Semitic inscriptions Ashtart and in the Bible Ashtoret) who had many temples dedicated to her and was the equivalent of Baalat at Byblos; A third important god at Sidon was Eshmun, who does not appear before the 7th century BCE and was the equivalent of Adonis. Temples were built in his name and he was associated with healing, hence the Greeks identified him as their Asclepius) <https://www.ancient.eu/Phoenician_Religion/> |
