Naval warfare is the unsung hero of ancient Greek military history,
often overshadowed by the more glorified land battles. Owen Rees
looks to redress the balance, giving naval battles their due
attention. This book presents a selection of thirteen naval battles
that span a defining century in ancient Greek history, from the
Ionian Revolt and Persian Invasion to the rise of external naval
powers in the Mediterranean Sea, such as the Carthaginians. Each
battle is set in context. The background, wider military campaigns,
and the opposing forces are discussed, followed by a narrative and
analysis of the fighting. Finally, the aftermath of the battles are
dealt with, looking at the strategic implications of the outcome
for both the victor and the defeated. The battle narratives are
supported by maps and tactical diagrams, showing the deployment of
the fleets and the wider geographical factors involved in battle.
Written in an accessible tone, this book successfully shows that
Greek naval warfare did not start and end at the battle of Salamis.
