单词	trireme
释义	trireme /ˈtrʌɪriːm / noun An ancient Greek or Roman war galley with three banks of oars.Successive displays chronicle the Greek trireme, perhaps the ultimate statement of rowing power, the Venetian gondola, the Thames wherry, wooden-hulled lifeboats and arctic whaleboats.... The captain of the trireme, the trierarch, was not a specialist, but a wealthy citizen who had volunteered or been appointed to take up this prestigious position. The best-known type of Greek galley was the TRIREME, with three banks of oars; a famous trireme battle took place between the Greek and Persian fleets at SALAMIS in 480 BC. Origin From Latin triremis, from tri- 'three' + remus 'oar'.
