Joppa became a port on the Mediterranean coast of Canaan (soon to become Israel) when the Ice Age had ended in the days of the Greek hero Perseus who had roamed there and saved the life of princess Iopa, namesake of the port of Joppa where about four centuries later the Sidonians (become known as the Phoenicians for Agenor’s son Phoenix) supplied the cedar timbers for Solomon’s Temple (the First Jewish Temple) transported by ships from Lebanon (Phoenicia) then brought east inland to Jerusalem.
