Monday it is me through.
2:46
This is a short form
2:49
podcast that sometimes considers listener
2:51
questions. sometimes Mr. Glasses just
2:53
me talking about something that
2:56
I've been researching of late.
2:59
This is a regular. And
3:01
as well. I
3:03
suppose the vice answered my given. In
3:08
preparation for the climax of the
3:10
classic King. I've been
3:12
reading a lot about me, the warfare
3:14
and weaponry or this is new to
3:16
me. I did get a few books
3:18
for Christmas. On this topic.
3:21
And. My hope is the in a very
3:23
near future I will have on and
3:25
experts on medieval warfare. So if
3:28
you have a question about weapons
3:30
or war in this period. Send.
3:32
Those two book at Bold move.com
3:34
Maybe your question will be featured
3:37
on a future masterclass this week.
3:39
I'll just have it to Elements
3:42
that feature in this book. The
3:44
first is the culture up. The
3:47
second is. Greek. Fire. Both
3:49
of these weapons are absent from A
3:51
Game of Thrones. And. Introduced
3:53
to the narrative in class. Let's.
3:56
Start with the cow trip. Hell trips
3:58
in their most basic form. At
8:00
its best, or worst given
8:03
which side of the battle you're on,
8:05
the stream of fire could reach a
8:07
ship fifty feet away. One
8:10
source says that the people of
8:12
Pisa, otherwise known for their leaning
8:14
towers, would shoot Greek fire from
8:16
the bow of their ships. They
8:19
would affix the head of a beast, sculpted
8:21
in brass or iron, to the
8:24
prow, and then shoot the liquid
8:26
through the mouth of the beast, making
8:28
it look as if the lion or monster
8:30
was vomiting fire. Sailors of
8:32
the enemy navy would jump ship
8:35
in full armor rather than burn
8:37
alive. Greek fire was also sent
8:39
through hand-held flamethrowers too, and these
8:41
were called chirocyphons. Chirocyphons
8:44
were fearsome but short-lived because
8:46
the ammunition was quite
8:48
limited. And if you're wondering, as
8:51
I was wondering, whether anyone ever soaked
8:53
a caltrope in Greek fire
8:56
and chucked it at his enemy, the
8:58
answer is yes. This
9:00
is not the best use of
9:02
either weapon, and
9:04
I highly discourage you from trying.
