from Part 1: Outlining the World -
Once the nations of the world knew little or nothing of one another.  On foot or tugging on an oar, the travelers of three thousand years ago dared not lose sight of home.  What lay beyond the horizon?  Who dwelt there?  The questions were answered by fables or by silence.  But wise or brave men could ot be satisfied with that.  An the youn Greek, Herodotus, was both wise and brave.
