Greek Bireme of the Trojan War
Legend has
it, that for ten long years the Greeks laid siege to the ancient city of Troy
but could not take it. Then one night they sailed away leaving only a large Wooden
Horse. Thinking that the Greeks had given up and returned home the Trojans took
what they thought was a large idol into the city as war booty. That night ten
brave men crawled out of the belly of the horse. They opened the gates of the
city allowing the returning Greek soldiers to pour in and defeat the mighty city
of Troy. The Bireme was the warship used in the Trojan wars. It had a broad
bottom with a shallow draft. Biremes were propelled by two banks of oars
and virtually skimmed over the seas. The bow had a portion that protruded out
at water level. It was intended for ramming and piercing the enemy's hull.
Once this was accomplished the the seamen would race aboard and the enemy ship
and subdue the crew.
