Tessarakonteres
The ''tessarakonteres'' ((ギリシア語:τεσσαρακοντήρης), "forty-rowed"), or simply "forty" was a very large galley reportedly built in the Hellenistic period. The name "forty" refers to the number of rowers on each column of oars that propelled it. It would have been the largest ship constructed in antiquity, and possibly the largest human-powered vessel ever built.
==Sources==
The "forty" was reportedly built by Ptolemy IV Philopator of Egypt in the 3rd century BC. It was first described by his contemporary Callixenus of Rhodes in the lost ''Peri Alexandreias''. In the early-3rd century AD, Athenaeus quotes this in his ''Deipnosophistae''.
Plutarch, writing in the late 1st century AD, also mentioned this immense vessel in his ''Life of Demetrius'', part of his ''Parallel Lives'' series, disagreeing or misquoting slightly on the height to top of stern, which he reports as forty-eight cubits:
Note that the translation of "forty banks" is overliteral; see below.
