Merrick’s Polycrates (Greece)
Polycrates was the tyrant of Samos, a fierce warrior and an enlightened ruler. He was responsible for the construction of engineering projects that are considered to be before their time, including a large aqueduct dug through a mountain known as the Tunnel of Eupalinos. He also ordered the construction of a fleet of over 100 penteconters, and designed his own ship, the Samaina. He likely pursued raiding and piracy to fund his increasingly large fleet.
