The lecture and the article are both about the ways that Greeks defended themselves against Romans. The author feels that Greeks did not defend themselves with burning mirror and says this is just a myth and provide three reasons of support. The lecture challenges the claim made by the author, He is of the opinion that these explanations are faulty.
To begine with, the author states that Greeks had not the thriving technology to invent such a devises. it mentiones that for this perpouse they need a wide pieces of mirror and mirror with precise parabolic curvature. The specific argument is challenged by the lecture. He claims that they just needed a several small flat pieces of mirror because their mathamathics know about this that they acn have small pulished mirror with precise parabolic curvature.
Secondly, the writer argues that this technique is a time consuming in order to ignate the ships. The lecture, however, rebuts this by mentioning that Romans ships was not made of wood and their ship construct by peach cash; therefore this material fired quickly.
Last but not least, The article posits that Greeks could defend themselves by flaming arrows. these divises was very fast and life threatening. In contrast, the lecture posision is that flaming arrows were very familiar to rest of armies in the world and Romans knew about these weapon. Therefore using burning mirror was very surprsing and effective for Romans army.
