The reading and lecture both discussed myth about burning mirror. While reading says that syracuse city under attacked by roman navy but greek used an ingenious weapon named burning mirror to protect them self. The reading also say that burning mirror was myth and provides three reasons of support. However, the lecture say that story of mirror is not a myth and their reasons is inconveniencing and professor refutes each of the readings reasons.
First of all, the reading passage claims that greek were not technologically advanced to build such weapons. The reading passage says that parabolic mirror was very precise and manufacturing technology of large sheet of copper was not exist on that time. However, the lecture refutes this point by say that on that time mathematician have that formula to build such huge size parabolic mirror. Furthermore, the professor also say that small pic of mirror are add together and possible to make such parabola.
In addition, the reading makes the argument that burning mirror would take long time to burn a wooden object. The reading says that sun ray's takes ten minutes to burn 30 meters away wooden object. The lecture refutes this claims by pointing out that roman navy are not only used to make ship ,they also used pich to protect the ship from water and this pich are burn with in second. So it is not a big problem to make fire the ship.
Finally, the reading passage argues that greek have more update weapons to attacked so why they make burning mirror. The reading also Say that flaming arrows range and burning mirror range are same. The professor refutes this claims by pointing out that roman navy were familer with flaming and they have protection. But in the case of burning mirror it attacked suddenly and no one traced that. So it is more effective weapons to attack.
