Women in Phoenician Society

In cooperation with the Center for Gender and Diversity Research Tübingen

The ancient Greek and modern cliché of Phoenicians is defined by (male) seafarers and traders, even though classical sources now and then explicitly mention Phoenician women (“The Phoenician Women” by Euripides, the foundation of Carthage by Elissa/Dido). This might be the reason why Phoenician women have never played an independent, comprehensive role in research. Yet archaeological, epigraphic and religious studies provide abundant data on the role and status of Phoenician women.

It is the objective of this workshop to bring together various scholars who have already contributed to the research about women in Phoenician society, and to discuss the basic data as well as the methodological and theoretical framework. The workshop is organised as part of a seminar in order to get students involved in current research problems and perspectives.
