At the time when ancient Greeks were imagining the myth of the flight of Daedalus and Icarus, ships were already available, using for their movement manpower or the power of the wind applied to their hoisted sails. Aegeus, another mythical hero and son of Thesseus, the founder of Athens, made his expedition to Crete, to kill the Minotaur of the Labyrinth, on board a ship, the sails of which were black. Already at that time, mariners were performing Sea Commerce between the various then known parts of the world. The owner of the ship was, at the same time, Master and merchant; he bought things in one place and sold them in another.
