Description
Greek Diere (Lat. Dieris) from classical antiquity, 6th century BC. This was a classic ship derived from the Pentaconter (50 rowers) with the difference benches were offset to accommodate two rowers instead of just one. This made for a wider ships, but not much longer, while being much faster. Probably a Phoenician invention, perfected by Corinthian builder Ameinocles, the Diere ruled the Mediterranean until the "invention" of the triere one century later.
