Trireme Olympias. The Final Report/Трирема Олимпия. Заключительный отчет

Издание на английском языке
This volume contains reports on the last two series of sea trials of the reconstructed Athens Trier Olympia, which took place in 1992 and 1994. These tests are a continuation of the previous series conducted in 1987, 1988 and 1990, the results of which were published in separate volumes. In addition to the test reports, the book includes brief mentions of significant events related to Olympia, such as her visit to the Thames in 1993 in honor of the 2,500th anniversary of Greek democracy and participation in the Olympic Torch relay before the Olympic Games in Athens in 2004.
The collection also includes papers presented at a conference held in 1998 in Oxford, as well as additional articles that were not presented at the conference or written later. Special attention is paid to the scientific discussions related to the project, including critical articles that emphasize the hypothetical nature of the reconstruction of Olympia. Some authors have expressed doubts about the design and construction of the trier, which underscores the importance of the ongoing debate.
