 This study is a result of a five long and incident ridden years of research and is centred on the mechanical aspect and technology of various parts, facts or objects to do with the trieres. A comparative study has also been made of texts which have been written about its use and construction and technical aspects of which very little mention was made in Ancient Greek texts which in itself had led to much confusion on the behalf of experts in the field
