Awesome, wasn't it? Do you think it's true that the Greeks had such a weapon? You never hear of Alexander using fire on the battlefield. Perhaps it was just too hard to control, they'd have enough problems with dust, I suppose, without smoke obscuring the view.dean wrote:
Thought that the author's use of "greek fire" in the plot was pretty good too.
There was an impressive scene in 'Troy' where they were rolling balls of blazing stuff at the enemy, though now I come to think of it, that was the Trojans. I can't help thinking that was a modern director's way of compensating for the lack of exploding ordnance than a reflection of real practice!
