The Athenian Navy

At it's peak, the Athenian Navy consisted of 80,000
men manning 400 boats. It was a fearsome force to
be reckoned with, as it beat the even larger Persian
Navy at the Battle of Salamis. The foundation of the navy was the rowers, pulled from the lower reaches
of Athenian society, giving them an edge in training over less adept navies.
