Datis and Artaphernes commanded the Persian troops defeated at
Marathon, 490 B.C.E. Mardonius was defeated at Plataea in 479.
Footnote 75:
Joel iii. 6. There is nothing in the extant Book of Joel inconsistent
with a pre-Exilic date. Such slave raids as the Phoenicians are here
accused of making, the Greeks made freely in Homeric times, and Greek
merchants were already in every mart. In the famous picture of a
golden age in Isaiah, Jewish captives are to be assembled “from
Assyria, Egypt—and from the islands of the sea” (Isaiah xi. 11), a
passage indubitably pre-Exilic. The “islands of the sea,” however, are
obviously Greek.
Footnote 76:
In the lexicon of Stephen of Byzantium (s. v.) we read Σύροι
κοινὸν ὄ νομα πολλῶν ἐθνῶν. Strabo, writing in the time of
Augustus, includes most of the nations of Asia Minor, such as the
Cappadocians, etc., under that term (xvi. 2).
Footnote 77:
The famous Harpy-tomb from Xanthus in Lycia, now in the British
Museum, dates from the sixth century. It is, however, so highly
developed a work that it presupposes a long history of mutual artistic
influence between Greece, Ionia, and Lycia.

One of the magnificent sarcophagi found in 1887 at Sidon by Hamdi Bey.

description may be found in Hans Wachtler, Die Blütezeit der
griechischen Kunst im Spiegel der Reliefsarcophage, Teubner, 1910 (Aus
Natur u. Geisteswelt, no. 272).

In the royal tombs at Sidon excavated by Hamdi Bey (see above, n. 9.),
one of the monuments bears a long Phoenician inscription of a king of
Sidon. It begins: “I, Tabnit, priest of Astarte and king of Sidonians,
