Ships and Sea-Power before the Great Persian War

Pages : 249
Book Description
This book presents a new theory about the developments in shipping and naval organization that culminated in the invention - around 530 BC in the eastern Mediterranean - of the trireme, and the subsequent adoption of this first specialized warship of antiquity by all the naval powers of the time. New interpretations are proposed of Greek and Assyrian iconographic data and of hitherto ignored evidence in Herodotos and Thukydides, the non-military factors determining developments are emphasized. Thukydides' fundamental essay on the genesis of Greek sea-powers is studied in depth, the rarity of these sea-powers stressed, and the peculiar background of the naval power of Phokaia and the Samian tyrant Polykrates exposed. The problem of the trireme's place of origin, the factors determining its invention, probably in Saïte Egypt, and its immediate adoption by the Persian king Kambyses are discussed. The first naval operations of the Persians are surveyed, reasons and circumstances of the trireme's introduction into the navies of the Greek city-states analysed with special attention for Themistokles' navy bill. The book offers ancient historians and classical philologists a radically new approach to archaic maritime and naval history. It will also be useful to (nautical) archaeologists.

Book Description
In this high-interest book, readers look inside the world of classic warships. Through vivid diagrams that come alive on the pages and fascinating facts about pre-1900 warships such as the HMS Victory and the CSS Alabama, readers learn all about life on the high seas and battles between countries and even against pirates. This information-rich, visually dynamic text gives readers a deep understanding about how classic warships tamed the open seas. From wooden vessels from the 1500s to triple-decker and ironclad ships from the 1800s, these ships explored and patrolled newfound areas and engaged in some of the most epic sea battles in history.
