TYRE, or Sour, a seaport of Syria, which derives now 
its only importance from its occupying the site of the most 
celebrated commercial city of antiquity. Ancient writers, 
both sacred and profane, are filled with the most magnifi¬ 
cent descriptions of that ancient “ Queen of the Sea.” Tyre 
was first built on the continent; but being taken, and in a 
great measure destroyed, by the kings of Assyria, a new 
city was founded on an island at a little distance from the 
land. New Tyre soon eclipsed the splendour of its proge¬ 
nitor. Its situation, fortified by all the aids of art, enabled 
it to make its celebrated defence against Alexander. That 
great conqueror found here a more obstinate resistance than 
at any other point, and at length succeeded only by throw¬ 
ing an immense mole across to the island, and thereby ren¬ 
dering it a peninsula, which form it has ever since retained. 
The houses are all built from ruins; yet there are no edifices 
which bear marks of very high antiquity. Without the 
walls are ruins of a very large church, built of hewn stone, 
in the Syrian style; also very perfect remains of several 
buildings to the north, which probably belong to the archi- 
episcopal palace. There are remains of several other churches.
