<span>The caravel of the 15th and 16th centuries was a ship with a distinctive shape and admirable qualities. A gently sloping bow and single stern castle were prominent features of this vessel, and it carried a mainmast and a mizzen mast that were generally lateen-rigged. Although the caravel had already been in use for hundreds of years, it developed into an incredibly fast, easily maneuverable vessel by this time, which was noticed by eminent people. This extraordinary vessel gained fame with the Portuguese and Spanish voyages of discovery. As Inigo Arieta (who escorted Columbus out to sea in 1492), the Commander of the Biscay fleet put it, caravels were ‘’corredoras extremadas, buenas para descubrir tierras (1).” Columbus’s ships Niña and Pinta were supposedly caravels, and Columbus repeatedly praised his favorite ship, Niña, for her great speed, maneuverability, and safety (2). However, as is evident in the historical record, not all caravels were designed the same way, and many changes were made throughout the history and development of the ship. In essence, it is hard to define the ‘pure’ archetypal caravel (3).</span>

Who did the Athenian phalanxes defeat at the Battle of Marathon?
Luden [163]
Hey there!
The Battle Of Marathon was an intense battle of the Greco-Persian wars that was about sacrifice and never giving up.
The Greeks, as always, had a smart plan. They fought on a thin, hard to fit through mountain pass and they used phalanxes and defeated the Persian Hoplites and Immortals. They thought they had victory, but eventually, the way around the pass was given to King Xerxes of Persia by a Greek traitor and the Persians one.
