- "Glory of the Law is one of 200 ships built under Themistokles' command. Still at sea after many battles against Persia, this ship continues to terrorize coastlines. Sink it once and for all."
- ―Description of the ship on the message board[src]
The Glory of the Law was an Athenian trireme which sailed the Aegean Sea during the 5th century BCE.
History[edit | edit source]
One of the 200 ships built under the command of the general Themistokles, the trireme took part in numerous naval battles against Persia during the Greco-Persian Wars. By the Peloponnesian War, the ship continued to function and terrorize the coastlines of Greece.[1]
Between 429 and 422 BCE the ship was eventually destroyed by the Adrestia commanded by the Spartan misthios Kassandra. In the aftermath, Kassandra claimed the finery of the Glory of the Law for her own.[1]
