Did the Greeks adopt iron weapons from the Phoenicians

Answer 1

There is no definitive evidence that the Greeks adopted iron weapons specifically from the Phoenicians. Iron working technology was known in the Eastern Mediterranean region before the Greeks, and the Phoenicians were also skilled in ironworking. It is likely that the Greeks acquired this technology through various means, including contact with the Phoenicians, as well as through trade and cultural exchange with other neighboring civilizations such as the Hittites.
