NAUTICAL TECHNOLOGY IN ANCIENT GREECE

From 8000 BCE to the end of the Hellenistic period, the Greeks developed the art of navigation to such an extent that for centuries they were the dominant power in the Mediterranean. This strength was based on their knowledge of astronomy, which over time also contributed to the development of geography, cartography, open-sea navigation (pelagodromia), and shipbuilding.

For the first time, an attempt is made to present comprehensively these achievements that contributed to the consolidation of the Greek naval tradition—many of which were previously unknown or almost unknown: the compass (;), anemoscope, astrolabes, wind charts, sundials, odometers, celestial spheres, periploi, and stadiasmoi are among these instruments, whose presentation is based on a wealth of scholarly research.
