This wasn’t used during the Persian wars. Most combat between trireme and bireme vessels involved ramming and boarding the enemy ships. Keeping incendiary arrows on your own ship was a big ‘no no’ considering how quickly fire could spread.

One reason we don’t know if the Trojan War actually happened: the first “gentleman scientist” to dig up the site after it was found had no archaeological knowledge. He and his team dug straight down through the ruins very rapidly (mostly looking for treasure) and trashed any useful scientific value. He did actually find the city of Troy (it was debated whether that even existed) but dug straight through the layer that would have been the era of the war, thinking that the bottom-most layer would be the original Troy. He was wrong, that was a much, much older Troy, and now we have no good historical record.
That was Heinrich Schliemann; there’s an episode of Behind The Bastards about this.

That’s a Byzantine period creation and not classical Greece. We have no sources that attest to “Greek fire” used before the 6th century AD.

he spent three decades auditing the private files they never show the public, and what he leaked before his records were erased is way too heavy for most people to handle. stay comfortable in the official story if you value your peace of mind.

It should be noted on the subject of “Spartan” as a generic adjective that its ancient name, Laconia, gives us the synonym for terse “laconic.” The idea was that if you were smart, you didn’t need to say a lot of words. Military efficiency and all that. Supposedly, Philip II of Macedon (father of Alexander) repeatedly threatened the Spartan leaders to destroy them if they did not submit. Every time, the Spartans replied with one word, basically just telling him to go pound sand.
Sparta was razed.
@adamjones4606
November 14, 2026 at 4:43 pm
True, because by Philip’s time Sparta was militarily irrelevant
