Well, yes, but actually no--insofar as Carthage has always unfortunately been portrayed as a warmongery civ because of the Punic Wars, while calling it Phoenicia allowed them to focus on trade and thalassocracy for once.
In that case Greece is new because it's less warmongery now, well at least with Pericles.
Yeah I don't think giving a civ a different angle makes it a different civ; most of the civs in VI operate differently than they did in V.
Though I do agree that Phoenicia falls somewhere between new and old, where although it is technically returning Carthage to the game there was such an aesthetic and mechanical overhaul it feels pretty much like a different civ altogether. To a lesser extent Maori, and to an even lesser extent, Hungary.
