The account
The Greeks trapped and destroyed the far larger Persian fleet in the narrows of Salamis in 480 BC, and the bronze and timber of hundreds of triremes still lie in the strait.
Leads, where the trail points now
- The field is at Salamis, Greece, and arms, shot, and relics still come out of the ground there.
- Detecting or digging needs landowner or park permission, and any significant find should be recorded; many battlefields are protected.
- Work the documented account of The Battle of Salamis to learn where the fighting, the camps, and the rout actually ran before you look.
