Armies and Tactics: Ancient Greek Navies - Duration: 10:02.

In our previous episode, we covered the evolution of the ancient Greek warfare

during the two Persian invasions, but we consciously avoided talking about the

Greek navies that played the essential role in this conflict. This video will

cover the naval warfare of the period.

Ancient Greek naval warfare was very closely related to land conflict, to the

point where it can be seen as a natural extension of the Greek land combat.

The navies were always close to the shore, to be quickly resupplied while the standard

ship formation in naval clashes looked much like a hoplite phalanx on a

bigger scale. Additionally, each city-state boasted its tactics and methods, as well as slight

variations in the type of vessels used, reflecting the highly-independent and

autonomous attitude of the ancient Greeks. At the time of the Greco-Persian Wars,

the Greeks used the trireme, which,

according to many scholars, was an adapted version of Phoenician ships

with two rows, called bireme. However, the trireme was a vessel ahead of its

time in many ways, and a masterpiece of Ancient Greek naval architecture,

which significantly contributed to the defense of Ancient Greece from foreign invasions,

but also to the expansion of Hellenic culture and ultimately the establishment

of the Mediterranean as the "Greek Sea." Thucydides stated that the Corinthians

were the first of the Greeks who adopted the particular ship around 700 BC.

Up until that moment, the Greek navies consisted mainly of the pentecounter, a vessel

with one row of 50 oarsmen, which can be regarded as its natural predecessor.

The trireme's average size was 37 meters, and its weight was 50 tons, which was big

enough to cause significant damage to enemy ships, but also light enough to be

transported by the crew on land, if necessary. Most importantly, it was made

out of pine and cypress wood, to be fast and agile. Its top speed was usually

around 8 to 10 knots, which allowed the commander to ram enemy vessels

with significant force. The ship was named after the three rows of oarsmen, who,

contrary to popular belief, were not slaves but often Greek citizens.

In fact, if slaves had to be used they would most likely be officially freed first.

Oarsmen were not tied to their seats and

were armed, to be able to board an enemy ship or defend their own.

Oarsmen in the top row were known as thranitai, while oarsmen in the second tier were

zygitai and finally the ones on the bottom of the ship were called thalamitai.

Xenophon mentions that thranitai were

respected by the rest of the crew because they were exposed to the weather

conditions and, most importantly, to enemy fire.

Naval warfare at the time looked much like a land battle on the sea since a

trireme would most regularly try to ram an enemy ship with its bronze ram – the emvolon

that was 2-3 meters long and was attached to the ship's keel and often

had the form of an animal. Ramming was followed by infantry boarding and clashes.

An average trireme had a 200 men crew: 7 officers, 170 oarsmen, 14

marines called epibatai - 10 hoplites and four archers - the toxotai as well

as nine sailors who were responsible for the ship's sails and general maintenance.

It has to be mentioned that these numbers vary according to the strategy

of each commander and the level of professionalism of the particular

city-state navy. For example, during the battle of Lade

in 494 BC the triremes from Chios each carried 40 hoplites as they relied on

the skills of their soldiers rather than the naval maneuvers of their captains.

Meanwhile, the Athenian navy, which was much more professional, preferred ramming

as the primary technique for defeating an enemy fleet and thus kept the numbers

of marines much lower, to be able to have more oars. Athenian triremes consistently

had approximately 14-15 marines, since maneuverability and speed, which were

valued naval skills for the democratic city-state, would otherwise be

jeopardized. For the Athenian navy, the hoplites were drawn from the Zeugitae

social class, while the archers, sailors, and oarsmen were recruited from the

lowest class of Thetes. Furthermore, the hoplites who mainly acted as a secondary weapon for

the ship after the ramming, were equipped perhaps with the standard hoplite

armor and arms along with the grappling hooks for boarding enemy ships, although

it is also likely that, especially Athenian marines were given slightly smaller shields and linothoraxes

instead of bronze armor.

. It seems, however, that the primary task of these forces was defensive, as they

were tasked with the protection of the oarsmen, arguably the most critical group

of the crew. The captain was called Trierarchos, almost always an Athenian noble

from the pentacosiomedimnoi class - the highest social class of the ancient Athens,

and was responsible for the ship's maintenance and operation, as well as

conscription and recruitment, not only from Athens but other Greek city-states too,

often Athenian allies. Also, the commander of the vessel was known as

Kybernetis and was usually an experienced seaman. The crew in

the Athenian navy was paid 1 Drachma for its services on a daily basis

while also receiving food rations. In general, funding the crews of

Athenian warships followed the democratic traditions of the city-state:

everyone was being paid the same amount; however, higher-ranked marines and officers

probably received some bonuses. Athenian naval power owed much to Themistocles.

He was the one who forced the state to build a fleet of 200 triremes in 483 BC

and also urged the people to leave Athens, after the Oracle of Delphi,

Pythia, advised the Athenians that "only the wooden walls will save you." A small group

of elders stayed behind and built a wooden wall close to the Acropolis,

but were quickly slaughtered by the advancing Persians, while the rest of the

population sailed away during. Despite the destruction of the city, the ships, acting as

wooden walls, saved not only Athens but the whole of Greece at the crucial

Battle of Salamis in 480 BC. The Athenian fleet was at large supported by the

wealthy citizens of Athens in what was known as liturgies, a practice where the

prosperous offered financial and physical aid for cultural,

military, social and economic purposes.

Finally, variations of the typical layout for the trireme emerged during the

Peloponnesian War mainly for the transportation purposes, with fewer

oarsmen and more hoplites or even horses, while artillery, such as ballistas

and catapults, became more widespread during the period. The naval tactics

developed to more complex movements with flanking the enemy fleet becoming a

well-established strategy or penetrating with force at a particular point so that

the enemy line would break. Naval warfare during the Peloponnesian War can be seen

as a reflection of the two leading city-states' traditions.

Sparta would rely more on the infantry's capabilities and would prefer to quickly ram Athenian

vessels head-on since it was almost impossible to compete with superior

Athenian maneuverability and their highly-skilled oarsmen, while Athens

would attempt to flank the enemy fleet while infantry and ranged troops

harassed the enemy. At last, the Peloponnesian War also saw an increase in fleet sizes with

as much as 300 ships and 60.000 seamen being involved in battles at

Arginusae and Aegospotami. The trireme's most significant disadvantage,

the incapability to be supplied with food and water for more than a day,

caused crashing defeat at the Battle of Syracuse, as well as the

aforementioned Battle of Aegospotami when the Athenian fleet was caught off-guard

while trying to procure food for its crews.

Puerto Rico Forward: Industrial Incentives Act - Duration: 2:50.

I hope you enjoy this preview of Puerto Rico Forward. You can listen to the full

episode on Patreon where you can also help support this project. You can also

find us on iTunes and Google Play. As always, thank you for your time, thank you

for listening, y que viva Puerto Rico. In 1948, the next year after Muñoz'

electoral victory, the Puerto Rican legislature passed the Industrial

Incentives Act, or Ley de Incentivos Industriales de Puerto Rico. This bill

allowed qualifying enterprises to be exempted from property tax, excise tax,

municipal tax, license fees, insular income tax for a period of 10 years

followed by partial exemption for an additional 3 years. In addition, the

Puerto Rico government also provided subsidized workspaces and low-interest

loans, among other goodies. These measures were put in place to complement Section 931

of the Internal Revenue Code that allowed US corporations to exclude the

income generated by Puerto Rico subsidiaries that qualified as

possessions corporations from their corporate tax bill. With these drastic

changes in policy the US and Puerto Rico government worked hand-in-hand to create

the most favorable conditions possible for private investment, throwing to the

wayside social interests. But beyond government backed policies, US-based

industries were initially attracted to Puerto Rico by the low wages they could

pay while maintaining productivity. In fact, low wages provided a larger subsidy

than that provided by government backed incentives. As an example, in 1950,

manufacturing in Puerto Rico only required an hourly wage equivalent to 28% of that

in the US. This stood in stark contrast to the reality that prices for goods in

Puerto Rico were higher than that in the US. Perhaps more importantly, US firms

had no incentive to raise wages since their output was destined to mainland

consumption. However, in the 1960s, policymakers in Puerto Rico began to

work towards attracting capital-intensive enterprises in place

of labor and labor-intensive ones. The ultimate desire was to raise wages. These

enterprises could afford to pay higher wages while maintaining higher

productivity through their greater use of capital. Capital-intensive firms were

also expected to have a positive effect on indirect employment by satisfying

their needs for inputs such as raw materials and

semi-finished goods through the purchases from local firms that would

emerge in reaction to the needs of the first. On the other side of the spectrum,

capital-intensive firms were expected to provoke the incorporation of local

businesses that would purchase the outputs of the first. What occurred was

that capital-intensive firms that established themselves in the archipelago

arrived with already established production and distribution networks

mostly established in the US. As a result, these enterprises did not have any

interest in forming nor being part of new supply chains.

MCU Phase 4 - Secret Invasion, House of M, Death of Captain America - Duration: 7:45.

while Kevin Feige might have successfully separated himself from

Marvel's comics and TV divisions like a boss he still drawn us heavily from the

classic stories that originated on the page stories which fueled his own fandom

a fandom which ultimately fueled his mega success and so far in the movies

he's done to varying degrees of accuracy and depth demon in a bottle the Winter

Soldier Ultron Civil War Planet Hulk and

infinity war good stuff yes these are the classic comic book events that have

helped lay the foundation for the MCU so far so as we are about to enter phase 4

which remains largely a mystery with only five films officially on deck here

are my picks for the other great comic book events the MCU should draw on next

and warning there are infinity war spoilers ahead what's taking you so long

to see it didn't you listen to the ad campaign you have to see it the first

time at least as soon as possible alright so anyway first off the

storyline that's been taunting us for quite some time now the death of Captain

America when's he gonna bite it right he was supposed to die in the aftermath of

civil war but now then we thought you might perish an infinity war but no

still alive much to the annoyance I'm sure of sebastian stan and anthony

mackie who are waiting in the wings to pick up the mantle now some of you might

be like grace why the heck would you want to bury those beautiful biceps well

first off this is comics he's gonna come back right and as a carrot for you

Marvel fans who are so aggressive against the DC EU this would be a

fantastic opportunity to show them off right because the MCU could succeed

where the DC EU failed so spectacularly and that's the adaptation of The Death

of Superman storyline someone recently pointed out to me the parallels between

Chris Evans Captain America and what Superman is supposed to be and I do

think the Captain America has talked about assuming Mantle's has assumed that

that mantle for America today right but at all serious

to allow cap to make the ultimate sacrifice to get even more of a halo

over his head right plus a sweet death scene and return scene imagine the

applause and the theater for that one right every time I've seen infinity war

the biggest round of applause has been for caps first emergence on screen it's

amazing it's a phenomenon it should it should it should be reward with this how

can you deny Chris Evans and his fans that storyline so I think that would be

great and again he's gonna come back so don't worry about it

next how when you introduce the shape-shifting Scrolls and the 90s no

less with the Captain Marvel movie and not do Secret Invasion I thought they

were gonna tease it an infinity war but I can respect they want to finish that

storyline first but it's got to be waiting you know also speaking of

waiting in the wings it's you know Feige must just be waiting to pull that

trigger cuz he's you know he's taking aim you have a set of aliens with the

powers and now the time to set their nefarious plans in motion

for those who you aren't familiar with Secret Invasion the name of the story

isn't as descriptive as the death of Captain America but basically it's where

shape-shifting aliens infiltrated the earth governments and also you know

superhero teams like the Avengers and you know took the place you know

because they're shapeshifters and took the place waiting to strike which they

did in secret invasion to reveal themselves great story great great story

because think about it didn't you enjoy all the scenes in the x-men movies where

mystique masqueraded as someone else while imagine that on a cinematic

universe wide-scale yes here the characters don't turn to ash they turn

evil oh what's so good wouldn't that be delicious fun not just for the fans but

for the actors as well Oh acting right that's the great thing about

shape-shifting characters it requires tremendous acting on the part of the

cache because sometimes it's just a look or when they turn a corner to sell that

I mean in the x-men they cheated a little bit with like the eyes would go

yellow for a second but I have faith in the Marvel actors that they could do it

Secret Invasion in fact could play out over an entire phase of movies plus it

would compel fans to revisit all the former MCU movies once you know certain

characters are revealed as Scrolls that would be so good which makes it a sweet

business decision to boot I mean if you liked playing who's gonna die you're

gonna have even more fun playing who's a scroll then finally my third

recommendation for a storyline is the House of M now that's a tough one to do

with that the x-men because Wanda can't utter no more mutants if there are no

mutants but she could easily utter no more heroes instead I really like this

one I really did a good job reimagining it so imagine an alternate reality

thanks to Wanda's nervous breakdown where cap didn't take the Super Soldier

Serum but you know he could still be alive you know Peggy didn't quite you

know go the distance she went pretty darn far but I'm you know cap took care

of himself right so you know he could still be there Tony didn't have a crisis

of conscience and was still a weapons dealer right the war didn't come down

from Asgard Peter Parker just a regular student never bitten by a spider and so

on what would everyone be like how would they still potentially come into contact

with each other that's the kind of stuff comic book fans live for and I think

that for those of you who only watch the movies you would enjoy it as well it's a

fascinating group of ideas to explore again for both the fans and the actors

and you know who else would still be alive in that scenario Pietro so it's

beautiful I mean come on why make Wanda slightly unhinged in several movies to

date if he's not going to eventually get totally unhinged now in the comics only

Wolverine because of course it was Wolverine right he was the he's like for

those of you who don't read comics he's kind of like the Robert Downey jr. of

Marvel Comics but anyway only Wolverine knew what Wanda had done that she had

altered reality and he knew what things were supposed to be like but here that

role could easily and delightfully be filled by dr. Stephen strange who held

his own very well in Avengers infinity war with the group and hey we could even

throw along in there too because Chyna Doctor Strange too could be House of M

or it could lead into it finally I do realize as I'm sure

you have already typed down below that there are lots of x-men related stories

that could be done here in addition but I think it's too early to speculate on

what foggy will do with the x-men once he gets and if he gets I think the

government's going to approve it but let's wait for that deal to be done and

to get a little bit better of an idea of what Mikey actually plans to do we'll

discuss more though when Deadpool 2 hits theaters shortly so when it comes to

just the MCU do you want to see the death of Captain America Secret Invasion

or the house of M maybe you want to see all three of them I should do but which

one would you prioritize I think that I'm really into Secret Invasion I think

that's the simplest one to do but I like the House of M one as well and Wanda

certainly has her fans even though the MCU seems to refuse to acknowledge that

okay so share your thoughts down below I look forward to continuing this

discussion in the comment section and of course as always you can check out some

YT for next
