<br/><br/> This comprehensive study of Homer's references to ships and seafaring reveals patterns in the way that Greeks built ships and approached the sea between 850 and 750 B.C. The subjects of this study, which are partly historical, partly archaeological, and partly myth and legend, bring Mark to several surprising conclusions about seafaring in Homer's time.
