Phoenicianism has garnered support from a segment of the Lebanese population, particularly among Maronite Christians.[2][3] Adopted by Christian intellectuals at the time of the creation of Greater Lebanon,[2] this ideology has been endorsed by figures such as poet Said Akl, and political groups such as the Lebanese Renewal Party and its successor, the Guardians of the Cedars.[4]
