| Summary: | The Phoenicians may have been the first ancient Near Eastern culture to have a specific deity of dance. Baal Marqod, the Phoenician "Lord of the Dance" was so named either because he was thought of as the originator of dance, or because the form of his worship involved dancing. Despite the prominence of Baal Marqod, representations of the dance in Phoenician art are relatively rare. The author describes in detail some of the important examples of Phoenician dance scenes that have been discovered. |
