Fast, maneuverable, and dangerous, the trireme was the most feared ship in ancient Greece
watches as the helmsman handles two large articulated oars to guide the ship.Paying the crew was a considerable expense. Wages were about one talent per month, an expense paid by the captain from his own pocket. Keeping the crew well fed was crucial to their performance. A typical diet included salted fish, oatcakes, wine, cheese, vegetables, and about seven quarts of water per day.
Triremes did not have much room on board for storage or sleeping, so the boats tended to sail only during the day. At night, the trireme was hauled out of the water, both to protect its hull from shipworms and to allow the crew to eat and rest. While ashore, the hull could also be checked for needed repairs.The trireme’s most feared weapon was a bronze battering ram attached to the prow of the ship.
