Pygmalion of Tyre

Pygmalion (Ancient Greek: Πυγμαλίων Pugmaliōn; Latin: Pygmalion) was king of Tyre from 831 to 785 BCE and a son of King Mattan I (840–832 BC). During Pygmalion's reign, Tyre seems to have shifted the heart of its trading empire from the Middle East to the Mediterranean, as can be judged from the building of new colonies including Kition on Cyprus, Sardinia (see Nora Stone discussion below), and, according to tradition, Carthage.
