1512,ENT_PHO_ESHMUN,received_as,ENT_ASCLEPIUS,high,"The Eshmun→Asclepius identification is extensively documented. The great Eshmun sanctuary north of Sidon — a major healing temple complex with a sacred spring — was described by Greek and Roman writers as an Asclepion, establishing a direct religious identification. The Eshmunazar II sarcophagus inscription (c. 450 BCE) names Eshmun explicitly as Sidon's chief healing deity. Philo of Byblos (c. 100 CE, citing Sanchuniathon) identifies the Phoenician healing deity with Asclepius. Pausanias notes the ""Sidonian"" character of Asclepius. Both Eshmun and Asclepius preside over healing sanctuaries with sacred springs, receive offerings from the sick, and are described as divine physicians.",SRC_MARKOE_PHOENICIANS,reviewed,PER_GRK_CLASSICAL
