Summary "Pericla Navarchi Magonis; sive, Expeditio Phoenicia Annis Ante Christum Mille" is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The text appears to be a narrative centered on the character Mago, a skilled mariner from Tyre, as he embarks on a significant expedition in ancient Phoenicia, driven by royal commissions and the desire for adventure. The focus on maritime exploration and trade within the context of ancient Phoenician culture suggests rich historical detail that could captivate readers interested in the seafaring exploits of this time. The opening of the work introduces Mago, who has received a summons from King Hiram of Tyre to prepare for a journey to Tartessum. As Mago gathers his crew and attends to the royal orders, the narrative unfolds with rich descriptions of early Phoenician life, trade ambitions, and interactions with various characters, including fellow sailors and merchants. There is an immediate sense of urgency and excitement as the story hints at potential conflicts and adventures ahead, setting the stage for a tale woven with themes of exploration, commerce, and divine favor from the ancient gods in their ritualistic practices.
