SO MUCH MALTA!
The Weird Findings, Strange Artefacts And Archaeologic Gems Of Malta. And these barely scratch the surface (literally) (Chiara Micallef, Lovin Malta). This is the first I remember hearing the story of the Maltese giantess and her human lover. This appears to be a local legend. I don't know how old it is.
I have just posted on the Maltese shipwreck
here, with links, and on the catacombs of Malta
here, with links. A past post on the Cippi of Melqart is
here. Cross-file under Phoenician Watch.
