Summary:

This scholarly volume explores the cultural transitions and material imagery of the Southern Levant between the Persian and Hellenistic periods (5th–3rd centuries BCE). Edited by Silvia Schroer and Patrick Wyssmann, the book compiles contributions from an international conference focused on the interaction of Near Eastern and Greek traditions. Case studies examine figurines, seals, inscriptions, and other artifacts, highlighting the fusion and adaptation of Persian and Greek influences with local cultural identities. The work emphasizes the importance of Phoenician cities like Sidon and archaeological sites such as Tel Dor and Judah in understanding this transitional period. Intended for scholars in Near Eastern studies, archaeology, and biblical studies, the volume provides a comprehensive perspective on the visual and material culture of the region during a time of significant historical change.
