(825 – 804 BCE · Tyre, Cyprus, Zembra, & Carthage)
The Narrator tells how Elishat —remembered by some as Dido— founded and nurtured the great city of Carthage, and what she did to maintain its independence from King Iarbas of Numidia.
Based on Chapter 5 of Middle by Geoff Micks.
The Rise of the Carthaginian Empire by J. M. W. Turner.

Jezebel by Harold Copping. (I will leave this in as an illustration for the Elishat episodes as well. What an image!)
