As they had no compass, the Egyptian and Phœnician sailors did not venture out of sight of land. They first sailed along the shore, and then to the islands which they could see far out on the blue waters. When they had come to one island, they could see another still farther on. As you will see on any map, the Mediterranean Sea, between Greece on the west and Asia on the east, is dotted with islands. Together, they look like stepping-stones going from one coast to the other.
Advancing carefully, the Egyptians and Phœnicians finally came to Greece, where they made settlements. They later began to teach the Pelasgians many useful and important things.
