A special marine weapon was the "dorydrepanon" (δορυδρέπανον) that is a sickle-spear.It was a spear with the regular point and with a sickle like blade in the side.It could be used to grab the enemy ship,but with the risk of stucking there.This fanction may mean that it was longer than usual.
Plato indicated this would not be used by everyone but only by hoplomachoi and he gives the example of one such person,but his weapon was not very efective.
