The article states that there are several reasons to attack the story that the Greeks used a burning mirror against Roman's ships and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor explains that there are problems with the author's arguments and she refutes each of the author's reasons.
To begin with, the reading states that the ancient Greeks were not technologically advanced enough to make such a device. The professor refutes this point by stating that the Greeks were have good mathmatical skills. Moreover, such devices do not need high level of technology.
Second, the article claims that the burning mirror would have taken a long time to to make the damages that it supposes to do and mentions an experiment to illustrate this idea. However, the professor debates that. She mentions that the Greeks did not use just wood as in the experiment that the article aexpress, Instead they use a material that could transfere fire immeadiatly with a few seconds rather than ten menutes. In adition, it can do that even when Roman's ships were moving.
Third, the reading avers that the Greeks was using flamming arrows and burning mirror does not seem like an improvement on this weapon. The lecture opposes this point by saying that the Roman soldiers were not famillear with flaming arrows. Terefore, they trying to find out a new more effective weapon. She states that the burning mirror were surprizing and much effective than flaming arrows.
