Battle of Salamis (306 BC)
The naval Battle of Salamis in 306 BC took place near Salamis, Cyprus between the fleets of Ptolemy I of Egypt and Demetrius, two of the diadochi, the successors to Alexander the Great. The battle was a complete victory for Demetrius, and resulted in his capture of Cyprus.
== Setting ==
Demetrius landed on the northeast of Cyprus and began a trek on land toward the most important city to the west of that island, Salamis. He eventually reached Salamis and laid siege to it. Elsewhere, on the western coast of Cyprus, Ptolemy launched a relief mission from the city Paphos. He went to Kition and then to Salamis. This is where he met Demetrius and the battle led out to sea.
Demetrius had a varied fleet. His fleet consisted of 7 Phoenician heptereis (seven banks of oarsmen on each side), 10 hexereis, 20 quinueres or pentereis, and 110 triremes and quadriemes or tetreres. It is estimated by some that Demetrius had a fleet of about 180 warships, but others speculate there could have been as little as 118 ships. Ptolemy had a more uniform fleet, containing 140 ships made up of quadriremes or quinqueremes. His brother Menelaos had another 60 ships trapped in the harbor at Salamis. Ptolemy also had 200 transport ships with 10,000 infantry aboard.〔 〕
