According to some, the trireme was invented by the Phoenicians and according to Thucydides there were already triremes in the 8th century, more than 200 years before the battle of Salamis. Thucydides only writes that the Corinthians were the first Greeks who had built triremes, not that they had invented them.

thank you

i was expecting everyone to cry it was the greeks or egyptians as thats what normaly happens to phoenician innovations

they taught those cultures a great deal that they do not receive credit for, even by scholars of this period

practicly everything is phoenician

they took the greeks out of the dark age
