You could put the number of sailors at an army of soldiers. She was said to carry corn enough to feed all Attica for a year. And all this a little old man, a wee fellow, has kept from harm by turning the huge rudders with a tiny tiller. He was pointed out to mea man with receding curly hair. Heron was his name, I believe.

TIMOLAUS

He was wonderful at his job, those aboard said: wiser than Proteus at things to do with the sea.
