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.
