Dear Paul,
I agree with you on art interpretation. Actually me and Giorgos interpreted the "harpoon" as a javelin and the "loop" as "problematic painting".
But we cannot be 100% sure that even our "conservative" approach is the best.

I do not completely disagree with you about "native" archers.
In fact if there is a way to argue the ease of bow vs javelin I will be inclined to agree more with you. And I said the you argument worths a note and gave me a point to re examine "light marines" but I am not convinced with the size and origin of bowmen.

Athenians also had links in Thrace were the could enlist Thracian archers and peltasts. Bowmen are thought to be more comon in Thrace rather than Central and South Greece.

As for trireme crew the initial crew might coming from the coastal attic villages where sailing a "cutter craft" and navigating were known skills.
These men would be the basis to build the crews and probably eased the massive training projects of Themistokles and Kimon.
Is easier to execute oar drill than teach navigation

Kind regards
