Greek Trireme

Historical background The trireme was the dominant warship of the ancient Mediterranean, used by Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans. Driven by three banks of oars and armed with a bronze ram at the bow, it was built to strike and disable enemy ships in naval battle. This model reconstructs a Greek trireme, interior and exterior, based mainly on the Olympias, the full-scale reconstruction of an Athenian trireme built in the 1980s. Triremes like it appear in video games such as Assassin's Creed Odyssey and in countless peplum films.

Note: while the general aspect of the ship is faithful to its sources, the exact accuracy of every architectural detail (ropes, some beams, etc.) is not guaranteed at 100%.

Made with archaeological rigor Created by a 3D artist with a master's degree in archaeology, and built from documented historical sources and real-world reconstructions.

What's inside

• The ship as a full mesh, interior and exterior

• Each oar as an individual mesh

• Rowing animation: oars in motion (Note : Models are not rigged )

• Normal maps in both DirectX and OpenGL

• An optional height map for each material (not used in the 3D viewer)

A note on accuracy The model is faithful to its historical sources; the exactness of every single detail is not guaranteed.
