I am a new member keenly interested in the archaic Greek Bronze Age world c. 2200 to 1100 BC and its many interfaces including parallels within the ancient Hebrew world.

To start with: -
Homer occasionally referenced Sidon or the Sidonian people. Although not a Hebrew city it is refered to in the Bible.

What is the earliest date this city in the Lebanon was called by this name?

What documentary evidence is there for this dating?
