Murray, William M.
The Age of Titans

The Rise and Fall of the Great Hellenistic Navies.

Murray examines how heavy warships crewed by thousands of men developed from the agile triremes so popular during the Greek Classical Age. Following Alexander the Great, a new focus on naval siege warfare explains the rise in popularity of big ship navies and defines the model of naval power they made possible.
