Скачать или смотреть The Narrow Strait That Trapped a Superpower Salamis vs the Persian Fleet – Hidden Tactics That Won B

The Persian Empire brought the largest fleet the Greek world had ever seen. At Salamis, it didn’t matter. In 480 BC, Xerxes forced the Greeks into what looked like a dead end: an island at their back, his armada in front. Instead, the narrow strait between Salamis and the mainland became a trap for his own ships.

In this episode of Silent Weapons of War, we uncover the hidden tactics that won battles at Salamis: how Themistocles lured the Persian fleet into cramped waters, how Greek triremes used short, controlled lines and local knowledge, and how numbers turned against Persia as their ships jammed the strait. We follow the battle from the first crowded advance of the Persian squadrons to the moment the channel became a kill zone where maneuvering was almost impossible.

Salamis wasn’t won by “better ships” alone. It was won by a map: a narrow corridor of sea that stripped away Persia’s advantage in numbers and mobility. The strait itself became a silent weapon of war.

Was this the day Greek strategy and geography quietly defeated a superpower at sea? Watch to the end and tell us what you think.
