2 main reasons! 1. They were a multiethnic army invading Greece, so they were not so eager to put their life on the line, 2. Greek infantry was much heavier equipped with bronze armor and the Persians wore no armor at all (as far as I can recall from paintings and stuff).

Hi guys, hi Benjin!, this series is becoming my favorite alongside the other of the battles. This series is very well made, 100/10 perfection as usual. I expect nothing less than that tbh from you. I like the depictions of the Trireim, as well as the mention of the Bririem, Thucydidies, Themisticlies and the Pentecounter (takes me back to Age of Empires 1). Boy, you outdid your selves. I love how you mentioned that the oarsmen were not slaves and armed (I always thought they were unarmed and that all 3 were equally respected, never knew that, thanks Xenophones!!!) I also appreciated that you mentioned the names of, the details and the sources of everything you mentioned!!!!!! Loved the mention of the Battle of Salamis as well as the introduction of naval artillery and improving tactics, it underlines that they had very intricate tactics at the time! I really loved the graphics shown. Gotta start a Rome 2 campaign as the Greeks now, hahaha. - Truly a jaw dropping video. Keep it up!

Eric Connor A translation would be "πάντα πιστός"(always loyal). But we don't use it. What is used by the Greek marines is "ΘΑΡΣΕΙΝ ΧΡΗ". It means "have courage" or "you have to have courage". It's part of what godess Athena said, through Ulesses, to the Acheans that wanted to leave from Troy and go home. After giving them courage and building the Trojan Horse, they conquered Troy.

Fantastic video again, friends. I have a bit of a personal question I was hoping you'd be able to answer for me, as someone who has watched your channel since it was in it's infancy to now hitting almost 200k subs (congrats btw), and as someone who has recently also decided to create their own content; what advice would you give to a small channel in regards to getting their own channel noticed? I mean, I know consistently fantastic content is obviously why you guys are where you are today, but back in the 'N&P/10 facts' era of the channel especially, what did you do/or where did you promote yourselves to get those first 1'000 subs/initial views? As I am discovering simply putting a video online is not enough to keep people engaged or recruit fans. I remember when you had the original narrator, and hadn't quite evolved into the style you are today, so I feel you guys are a great team to ask about this question as you guys have had a fantastic evolution over the last 18 months - got any tips or tricks you'd be happy to share? All the best, and as always, looking forward to whatever is next!

Small quibble: the ancient Greek historian Thucydides, while having a "c" pronounced as an "s" in the modern Anglophone rendering of his name, would have had his name pronounced as something closer to "thou-kid-ae-dees" in his own day.

Naval operations in the Med were influenced by Teredo. It's the reason the ships both stayed close to shore and needed to be light enough to portage up the beach. The worms can start to damage the hull in as little as 12 hours. Until the 18th century the only way to prevent this damage was to remove the vessel from the water and let it completely dry.

Great video! In the rowing animation the rowers are facing the wrong way and pushing instead of pulling their oars, which wouldn’t work.

Question: At what time did Greek Fire become Important in Greek Sea Warfare? Bronze handpumps to deliver this up to 10 Meters away have been found and are in Museums, the old estimate was after Athens war with Persia and before Alexander. Accounts of the time say Greek Fire would burst into Flame on contact with water or a Human body which is mostly water, while how it was made is lost, probably a mixture of Nappa and certain chemicals, some of which react with water by igniting into Flames.
