The lecture and the reading both discuss a weapon called burning mirror. While the reading states that the burning mirror is a myth and the Greek never build this device, the reading enumerates three reasons to support that. The lecture refutes this point saying that the reasons mentioned in the reading in unconvincing and the professor explain that the Greek build that device.
First of all, the reading claims that the Greeks were not advanced in the technology. The parabolic did not exist in the ancient world. However, the lecture argues that the there was no need to had a large sheet of copper to build the burning mirror. According to the professor, the Greek were able to assemble small copper pieces together and form the parabolic shape to build the burning mirror.
In addition, the reading makes an argument that it took long time to set the ship on fire by using the burring mirror. It is impracticable and ineffective for the Greek to make this device. The lecture counters this point by saying that it took about 10 minutes for the wood of the ship to set on fire, but the boats were also made of other materials. Furthermore, water proof materials such as bitch was flammable, it took only 1 second to set fire for the whole boat. The burning mirrors were effective.
Lastly, the reading passage argues that it was not important to have the burning mirror device. The Greek already had a similar device called flaming arrow which worked in the same way like burning mirror. The lecture refutes this point by saying that the flaming arrow was familiar to the Roman. However the burning mirror only looks like a mirror. Moreover, the professor says that the burning mirror will be much effective and more surprising to the roman.
