Mattan I
Mattan, Matan, or Mittin ruled Tyre from 840 to 832 BC, succeeding his father Baal-Eser II. He was the father of Pygmalion, king of Tyre from 831 to 785 BC, and of Dido, the legendary queen of Carthage. The primary information related to Mattan I comes from Josephus’s citation of the Phoenician author Menander of Ephesus in ''Against Apion'' i.18. Here it is said that " Badezorus was succeeded by Matgenus his son: he lived thirty-two years and reigned, nine years: Pygmalion succeeded him". Alternative dates for his reign, from 829 to 821 BC, are given in the work of F. M.

For those who place the seventh year of Pygmalion in 814 BC, i.e. in the same year that Dido left Tyr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
