[PATCH] Various errors in Greek unit names
- τριήρης is short for ἡ τριήρης ναῦς -> feminine
- Ἀθηναϊκός means »pertaining to Athena« (not Athens the city). The correct adjective is Ἀθηναῖος. Hence: »Athenian trireme« means τριήρης Ἀθηναία
- γυνή is feminine (duh) and has the accent on the last syllable.
- Σπαρτιάτισσα is not a word. »Spartan woman« means Σπαρτιᾶτις.
- Σπαρτιάτης, not Σπαρτιάτις.

| 7 | 7 | <History>The first Triremes were built circa 650BC, and by 500BC the Trireme was the most widely used heavy warship of the Greek city-states. In the Trireme, the outriggers were now an integral part of the ship's hull. The Trireme also had a partial or full fighting deck above the rowers. The length of the Trireme remained approximately 35-38 meters, and the beam was approximately 3.5 metres. A Trireme carried 170 oarsmen, plus twenty sailors and fourteen marines in Greek navies. The top speed of a Trireme was approximately 11.5 knots. Some Triremes may have been able to reach higher speeds in short bursts. A Trireme travelling from Athens to Mitylene in 427BC made the 350 kilometre trip in only 24 hours, averaging eight knots (14.6 km/h). The Trireme could accelerate much faster than a Bireme or Penteconter, and was much more maneuverable. This gave the Trireme an advantage in combat, where higher speed and manoeuvrability meant a better chance of victory.</History> |

| 7 | 7 | <History>Macedonian women were mothers, first and foremost. They had few rights and a low station. Lower class women labored the land and, only when necessary, tended the family shop. Middle and upper class women were relegated almost exclusively to home life. Be that as it may, they were masters of the home and servants, their husbands often deferred to their wives in domestic matters. Some Macedonian women did wield uncommon influence in politics, the most famous being Olympias, mother of Alexander.</History> |

| 27 | 27 | <History>Spartan women were some of the freest in the ancient world. They could own land and slaves and even exercise naked like Spartan men. It is said that only Spartan women gave birth to real men. Such tough as nails women more than once helped save their city from disaster, for example when after a lost battle against Pyrrhus of Epirus they overnight built an earthen rampart to protect the city while their men slept in preparation for the next day's siege.</History> |
