Both the reading and lecture discuss the feasibility of ingenious weapon, burning mirror, used by the Greeks to fire Roman's ships. While the author states that the story is a myth and on that time a device like it had not been invented, the lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article and believes that there are unconvincing.
First of all, the author claims that during that time, technology was not so advance to make such large mirrors. He believes the mirror should have been several meter width to focus the sunlight and set the ships on fire. The point is challenged by the lecture. She says that single sheets can form a large mirror which had able to set the Roman navy on fire.
the next point brought up is that it would take a long time to fire the ships by just a large mirror. However, the professor asserts that since the other materials like sticky substance which fire on just seconds had been used in Roman's ships, it is possible that mirrors set them on fire which had caused the entire ship to burn.
Finally, the writer mentions that such a weapon does not seem an improvement on the weapons that Greeks already had. The lecture, on the other hand, claims that the Greeks were familiar with fire arrows. She puts forth the idea that fire arrows could be observed easily. In order to surprise their enemies, they had used mirrors which were more effective.
