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.
