Mass/weight of a triere

[hoplite14gr]

Athenian navy was well trained in triky manuvers and proved it during the Pelopenessian war in Rio. Also equipment was well maintained.
The Megarean fleet for lack of funds and men was rotting and a daring raid in unprotected Athens was canceled for that reason.
Navy of all times is a "technical" complex weapon and needs lots of effort to be maintained. Athenians made that effort. Their enemies usually did not.
And remember Aegos Potmaoi was aploy not a naval battle.
Kind regards
