The trireme had 3 banks of oars, and a full spar deck instead of the centre-line gangway of the early bireme. |
All of the slain might be burned with the trireme, with all honor, so there was no more care for that. |
The officers were the trierarch and next to him the helmsman, who was the navigating officer of the trireme. |
As the Greek name implies, the trireme had three rows of rowers on each side, developed from earlier Greek and Phoenician biremes. |
And in the meantime a trireme was despatched in all haste to carry their petition to Sparta. |
We were closely pushed and in peril when they ensnared the trireme with their sand. |
