video - Greco-Persian Navies - Sail me closer, I want to hit them with my xiphos

[davidb]

Drachinifel usually does more modern naval history (19th century up to end of WW2), but I thought that the one from today would be of interest to members of the forum:

Today we look at some of the naval tactics of the Greco-Persian conflicts back when the most ambitious projectile weapon was the bow or sling and ramming was the order of the day with special guest Peter Freiherr von Danckelman.
