Greek oared ships, 900 - 322 B.C
Authors:John Sinclair Morrison (Other), Roderick T. Williams (Other)

This book is written in the belief that a proper understanding of Greek civilization in antiquity requires some knowledge of its background of seafaring. A knowledge of nautical practice is required for an understanding of some passages of Greek poetry and prose writing. This is an attempt at a thorough study of the evidence, both literary and archaeological.
