Athens developed a powerful navy due to its strategic location and emphasis on trade, which made maritime strength essential for protecting its interests. The city-state invested heavily in shipbuilding, particularly triremes, which were fast and agile warships. Moreover, the wealth generated from its empire and trade routes allowed Athens to fund and maintain a large fleet. This naval power became pivotal in securing victories, such as at the Battle of Salamis, solidifying Athens' dominance in the Aegean.
