The event I am referring to is this: http://www.livius.org/sources/content/herodotus/herodotus-on-the-first-circumnavigation-of-africa/

It's a story so impressive that I really want to believe it to be true - but I know that I should probably be sceptical.

Therefore I want to ask whether you, on the balance of probability, think that the circumnavigation actually occured?

Obviously you're not all experts on Phoenician History - but I would love to get a rough idea of where a group of keen historians stand on this.

Thank you so much.
