“The classical writers, people like Herodotus whom you quoted when we started, had a very clear images that the Greeks had been living there at a rather primitive level, and along had come Egyptians and Phoenicians. Phoenicans are the people who lived on the Levant in present Lebanon, and these people had set up cities and had civilized the Greeks. They taught them irrigation, new weapons, the alphabet, how to write, a whole series of things were attributed to these Egyptian and Phoenician colonizers.”
