Sentences with ZYGA (2)
For these seats were found in the hold (thalamus), and hence while the upper tier of the bireme took their name from the zyga, benches or thwarts, and were called 'Zygites,' the men of the lower tier were called 'Thalamites.' These names were continued when the invention of the 'thranos,' or upper seat, had added a third or upper tier with longer oars to the system, and so introduced the trireme.
When, in consequence of the new invention, vessels were expressly built as triremes, we may imagine that for convenience' sake the benches or zyga would be a little raised, so as to give more room for the raised seat of the thalamites that was fastened on to the floor of the vessel.
