The account given by Xenophon ofthe voyage of Iphikrates round the Peloponnese illuminates normal practice; Iphikrates was in a hurry and wanted to train his crews at the same time, but one can infer what was normal from ‘Xenophon's account: "When Iphikrates began his voyage round the Peloponnese, he took with him all tne equipment he needed for a naval battle. He left his large sai if he was sailing to battle, and made very litle use of his small sails even wher ‘the wind was favourable. By proceeding under cars in this way he made bis crews fiter and his ships faster. And when the expedition was due fr its morning meal at any particular place, he would order the leading ships back, round again to face the land and make them race ata signal for the shore... Again, if they were taking & meal on hostile teritory, he set the usual sentries on land but he also raised his ships’ masts and had men Keeping watch from the top of them. They had a far wider view from their point of vantage than they would have had from ground level... On daylight voyages he tained them to form ine ahead or line abreast at a signal, so that inthe course of their voyage they had practised and become skilled atthe manoeuvres needed in a naval battle before they reached the area of sea which they supposed tobe in enemy control.” (Kenophon, Helidnika 62.27-30) (One point, which does not emerge from t the treme was so used in really rough weather.

All three were noted for their splendid ship-sheds. The town itself was laid out on a regular grid pattem of strets by Hippodamos, anative of the Greek city of Miletos on the west coast of Asia Minor ‘where a similar street plan was also used. In contrast to Athens, notorious for inding streets, the harbour town must have looked rigid ight streets, well placed houses and open public areas. Besides the naval lations, the town boasted many of the armenities that Athens had, including a (of fortifications that were necessary to protect Athens’ trade and a theatre. By the middle ofthe fifth century the harbour was linked to Athens by Long Walls, ‘no mean feat of construction given the distance covered and the marshy character of the terrain at the 1s end. The population of Peiraious was mixed, for ot only did foreign traders lodge there temporarily but many of Athens’ resident aliens (metoikoi) lived at the port, some of whom were responsible for Athens’ (tage and ran businesses such as armouries and banking; the metoikot might also be grain-dealers or carry on such trades as fulling and baking. ‘This mixture of population meant that the shrines and sanctuaries that dotted 4 greater variety of worship than places less accessi- ble to foreign influence, and such non-Greck deities as Bendis and Kybele had 1g of Plato's Republic (2.46): T went down yesterday to the Peiraieus with Glaukon, son of Ariston.
