Note 1600 — Appendix C (to p. 169). Early Athenian Sea Power

Brueckner and Pernice, Ath. Mitt. XVIII. p. 153, followed by e.g. Helbig, Mém. Acad. Inscr. et B.-L. XXXVI. (1898), pp. 387 f. Against this view see Assmann, Berl. Phil. Woch. 1899, pp. 16 f., who argues merely (1) that the dead on the ships proves them Phoenician, (2) that if the Athenians depicted their own ships, there would be more ships on Black and Red Figure Attic vases. But against this note (1) that the Dipylon vases are funeral vases, (2) that, in spite of Salamis, fifth century Attic vases do not abound with pictures of enemy ships.
