Sidon Cippi Gravestones 350-300 BCE

Sidon was located near the center of the Hellenistic world.

Sidon cippi gravestones as now displayed at the Louvre in Paris.

Background

(October 24, 2023) Sidon was an independent Phoenician city until 351 BCE when it was conquered and mostly destroyed by the Persian Achaemenid  empire under Artaxerxes III. After this trauma, the survivors surrendered to Alexander the Great in 333 BCE. This ushered in a new era of prosperity for Sidon as revealed in its coins and cippi looking gravestones. By then it was no longer a Phoenician city but an international melting pot.

Most (but not all) of the cippi-like gravestones now displayed in the Louvre were collected by Ernest Renan in 1861. Ernest Renan was the French scholar sent by Emperor Napoleon III of France to make a survey of the archaeological sites of Phoenicia. He was allowed by the Turkish authorities to take home to France some of his recorded items. The last ones arrived in 1891 shortly before his death in Ocober 1892. His team uncovered the large necropolis of Magharat Abloun south of Sidon. Later they recorded the royal necropoli at nearby Ayaa and Ain el-Helwe to the west. Because this was a pre-archeaological collection not much else in known about these funeral stones.

Elaborately Decorated Gravestone

Here an eagle vulture moddeled as a Crested Eagle is rising out of a grape vine. Above are red crown anemones. The grape vine represents the life network which brings life powers to earth. While the vine part represented the life network the grape itself represented emotion/motion class powers because wine energizes the emotions. The popular Greek god Dionysus represented this divine power. Consequently, the grape vine represented both the life and motion powers.

Mediterranean Crested Eagle

This was the Levant model for the eagle-vultures which edit the life network which bring life powers to earth. Eagle-vultures were usually directed by the crescent moon goddess Ayu.
Eagle-Vultures are mentioned in texts 40, 41, 42, 45, and 46 below.

Red Crown Anemone

This flower is common in the Levant and symbolizes life and death because of its red color. Its flower petals range from white to red and can have 1, 2, or 3, lobes resulting in a varied number of petals on a flower.
