Phéniciennes (in Greek old Φoινίσσαι , Foiníssai ; in Latin Phœnissæ ) is a Greek Tragédie of Euripide which goes back to 408 av. J. - C..

It owes its title with the composition of the chorus, trained young women of Phénicie who, intended to enter to the service of Apollon to Delphes, were stopped on their road by a military forwarding carried out against Thèbes by seven chiefs.
