Sicanian architecture was simpler than that of the Phoenicians and Greeks. Few standing structures survive from the Sicanian culture, but the so-called "Temple of Diana" (shown here) overlooking Cefalù was built upon an older Sicanian temple to their own goddess of the hunt -- analogous to the Phoenician Astarte, Greek Artemis and Roman Diana.

More likely, the reverse is true. The Hebrew influence over the Greek characters is beyond question.
