I was tickled when the back of the shirt showed the places where the Argonauts visited. Like it was a world renowned rock band. According to the Ancient Greek mythology it was not a pleasant experience. It was fraught with adventures and death of crew members. Encounters with monsters and sorcerers spells and of course the Golden Fleece.
💕 my Boudica T-shirt. Great fit, feel. The shirt is well made, beautifully printed. Product every bit as described, well packaged for shipping, promptly received. Highly recommend.
I was expecting it to be more of a sticker on top of fabric, instead the symbol is imbedded in the fabric making it out to be much higher in quality. It shows too, and looks absolutely amazing.
Loved it. I did notice that Greece (and Rhodes) did not have a lot of neat T-shirts for tourists, apparently that is an American thing, so I was delighted to find it as I was just there in May.
I love this shirt depicting a beautiful Greek trireme! After Leonidas's heroic defense at Thermopylae, their betrayal and defeat, Xerxes and his hugh Persian forces made a path towards Athens. But the Spartans rear guard bought precious time enough for a thorough evacuation from Athens to the island of Salamis. Themosticles, admiral of the Athenian fleet of 368 vs 1327 Persian ships had an advantage over the Persians, it was their waters and they were eager for vengeance after they burned Athens. The Persians were not seaman, they were outmanuvered and mercilessly rammed and boarded the Persians ships while Xerxes sat watching helplessly his fleet being destroyed. The Persians retreated again back to Asia. It was a major victory for all of Greece!
