Pygmalion of Tyre
For other individuals with this name, see Pygmalion.Pygmalion (also known as Pumayyaton) was king of Tyre from 820 to 774 BC and a son of King Mattan I (829-821 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 and, according to tradition, Carthage. For the story surrounding the founding of Carthage, see Dido.

Pygmalion (Tyr)
Mythologie Dans la mythologie grecque, Pygmalion, fils de Bélos et frère de Didon, est roi de Tyr. Monté très jeune sur le trône après la mort de son père, il assassine alors Sychée, son beau-frère, pour s'emparer de ses richesses, ce qui provoque l'exil de sa sœur Didon (qui fondera Carthage).
