Sidon was one of the oldest Phoenician cities and, from its founding in the 3 rd millennium BC, was ruled by many different peoples: Assyria, Babylonia, Persia, Alexander the Great , the Seleucids of Syria, the Ptolemys of Egypt, and the Romans. To understand the philosophy of Zeno we need to make some comments about the philosopher Epicurus who founded the Epicurean School to which Zeno later belonged. Epicurus, who lived from 341BC to 270 BC, founded his own School of philosophy based on his teachings. These teachings were designed to indicate a means of living ones life, and they aimed both to guarantee happiness and to provide a means to find it. Epicurus had no interest in science for its own sake and he was a severe critic of mathematics. On science he wrote:- If we were not troubled by our suspicions of the phenomena of the sky and about death, and also by our failure to grasp the limits of pain and desires, we should have no need of natural science.

It is not certain what the Phoenicians called themselves in their own language; it appears to have been Kena'ani (Akkadian: Kinahna), "Canaanites." In Hebrew the word kena'ani has the secondary meaning of "merchant," a term that well characterizes the Phoenicians. The Greeks gave the new appellation Phoenicians to those Canaanites who lived on the seacoast and traded with them. Phoenicia is the Greek work for "purple". The most probable reason for giving this name is the famous Tyrian purple cloth which the Phoenicians manufactured and sold to the rich of the ancient world. Ethnic Origin and Language The Phoenicians probably arrived in the Eastern Mediterranean about 3000 B.C., however, nothing is known of their original homeland. What may be the most common ethnic origin they are considered to be is Semitic; however, some studies suggest that their original homeland may have been in the Indian sub-continent long before 3000 B.C. while other studies trace their origin, according to Irish records, to suggest that they descend from a Scythian King named Phoeniusa Farsa...according to the
