TPO30_Q1
The article states that Greeks of Syracuse never really built "burning mirror " and it is just a myth. And provides three reason. However, the professor explains that the claims that are state in the reading passage are not convincing and refutes each of the author's reasons.
First, the reading claims that ancient Greek were not technologically advanced enough to make burning mirror. The professor refutes this point by saying that Greek people can attached small and flat copper to make this device in a wide meter shape.
Second, the article posits that the burning mirror would have taken a long time to burn a ship especially while it was moving. the professor opposes this point by explaining that the author assumes just wood on fire while the ship was not just made of wood, other materials in the ship were exist which easily and quickly catched fire, for example peach catch fire in seconds even the ship was moving.
Third, the reading passage says that flaming arrows which was as effective at about the same distance as the burning mirror, was a common way of setting the ships on fire .However According to the professor by using burning mirrors you can not see what set fire on you, you just see the mirror and also he says that the burning mirror was more surprising than flaming arrows.
