"Die Umsegelung Afrikas durch phönizische Schiffer ums Jahr 600 v. Chr. Geb." von Willi Müller ist eine historische Untersuchung, die sich mit dem antiken Bericht über die Umsegelung Afrikas durch Phönizier befasst. Written in the late 19th century, the work engages critically with classical sources, particularly the account by Herodotus, exploring the credibility of the narrative and the historical context surrounding the expedition commissioned by the Egyptian king Nechos II. The book delves into geographical, logistical, and cultural aspects, evaluating the implications of such an undertaking in antiquity. The opening of the text sets a scholarly tone, establishing the debate regarding the accuracy of Herodotus' account. Müller outlines the historical context and provides a glimpse into the extensive discussions and literature surrounding the subject over the centuries. He acknowledges the complexity and challenges of affirming the historical truth of the expedition, arguing for the expedition's plausibility while addressing the skepticism of earlier scholars. This sets the stage for a detailed exploration of sources, motivations, and the maritime prowess of the Phönizier, hinting at the depth of research and critical analysis to follow in the subsequent chapters.
