Origin of Geography.
The Phoenicians were the tlrat peo
ple to communlcnte to other nations a
knowledge of distant lands. It is now
known that before the time of Homer
that enterprising people had passed
beyond tho limit of tho Mediterranean
into the great western ocean, and it
was by their sailors that the first
rough charts of the world as then
known were made. But geography as
a science originated among tho Greeks,
its real father being Herodotus of Hal
lcarnassus, about B. 0. 484.
