Sanchuniathon (
Greek: Σαγχουνιάθων;
gen.: Σαγχουνιάθωνος) is the purported
Phoenician author of three lost works originally in the
Phoenician language, surviving only in partial paraphrase and summary of a
Greek translation by
Philo of Byblos, according to the Christian bishop
Eusebius of Caesarea. These few fragments comprise the most extended literary source concerning Phoenician religion in either Greek or
Latin: Phoenician sources, along with all of Phoenician literature, were lost with the parchment on which they were habitually written. He is also known as
Sancuniates.
