1510,ENT_PHO_MELQART,received_as,ENT_HERACLES,high,"The Melqart→Heracles identification is one of the best-documented Phoenician→Greek religious transmissions. Herodotus 2.44 explicitly states that he visited the Tyrian temple of Heracles, notes that it was far older than the Greek Heracles tradition, and concludes that there were ""two Heracleses"" — clearly distinguishing the Phoenician Melqart from the Greek hero. Melqart's attributes transmitted to Heracles include: (1) the lion-skin (Melqart depicted in lion garb in Phoenician iconography); (2) the club; (3) navigation and founding of colonies (Cadiz/Gadir was a Phoenician colony with a famous Melqart-Heracles sanctuary); (4) the dying-and-apotheosis narrative (Melqart's egersis → Heracles's immolation and apotheosis on Oeta). The identification was standard in the Greek world by the Archaic period.",SRC_HERODOTUS_HISTORIES,reviewed,PER_GRK_ARCHAIC
