Just came out, the defining battle of the trireme, one of the greatest naval battles of all time, with land skirmishes of the Persian wars. I love reading this stuff and highly recommend it to those that enjoy reading about the Ancient world.

Wow no history fans

Haven't read it, although I have read quite a lot about the trireme. Salamis was definitely most of the most important trireme battles (quite possibly THE most important) but in a way it was atypical because the Greeks deliberately turned the battle into a boarding battle in narrow waters, rather than a battle of maneuvering and ramming. But, in any case, from the reviews on Amazon it seems Strauss has written this really well?

title sounds like gay porn to me.

From a Latin saying:

Better to be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

thanks chris. i think you're a real swell guy too.
