The Greeks needed a superior navy primarily for defense and trade. With their city-states often competing for resources and territory, a strong naval force allowed them to protect their Coastlines and shipping routes from rival powers, such as Persia. Additionally, a powerful navy facilitated trade and commerce across the Aegean Sea, enhancing their economy and enabling the exchange of goods, culture, and ideas. Ultimately, naval supremacy was crucial for maintaining security and fostering prosperity among the Greek city-states.
