Replica of Mycenaean warship on show at the Hellenic Maritime Museum

A replica of the Mycenaean warships that "sailed" in the Homeric epics and shaped the maritime tradition of ancient Greece will be put on display for visitors at the Hellenic Maritime Museum on Saturday, October 19, at 11.00 am. This "journey" through time will take place in the context of the event "NIES PONTOPORII: Building the Myth", which has as its highlight the presentation of an impressive life size (1:1) replica of a part of a Mycenaean eikosoros (a ship with two rows of 10 oars). Reconstructed shipbuilding tools will also be on display, revealing the techniques and secrets of Mycenaean shipbuilders.
