Voici la premiere biographie consacree a un roi phenicien, ‘Abd’astart Ier de Sidon, qui a regne de 365 a 352 avant notre ere. L’image que nous en conservons le plus souvent aujourd’hui est celle d’un roi philhellene, connu sous le nom grec de Straton. L’enquete historiographique a montre l’origine de cette image, sa diffusion et son evolution dans l’Antiquite, puis sa resurgence et sa recuperation a l’epoque moderne, conditionnees par la decouverte de la Phenicie au XIXe siecle a travers une vision hellenocentriste, et par les debats neo-marxistes sur le despotisme asiatique. L’analyse historique de la vie et du regne de ‘Abd’astart Ier a permis d’evaluer la part de realite dans l’image actuelle et de montrer que cette image en cache une deuxieme, representant une autre facette du personnage, plus authentique et completement escamotee. Ce roi phenicien n’a pas ete, comme Alexandre par exemple, un de ces grands hommes qui ont change le cours de l’Histoire, mais il a profondement marque l’histoire de la puissante cite de Sidon. Sa personnalite etait particulierement riche et complexe: raffine, cultive, esthete et eclectique, il etait ouvert aussi bien a la culture orientale qu’occidentale; energique et courageux, il a ete le premier roi phenicien a s’opposer a l’imperialisme perse. Mais les erreurs politiques qu’il a commises ont ete tres lourdes de consequences pour la cite de Sidon.
