Everything in italics is my personal preference for the meaning for the name of each ship.
Α
1. Ἀγαθὴ
IG II2 1604.54; I 2012b.55 | 379/8-357 BC | good, serviceable, blessed. | Abstract Characteristics
2. Ἀγαθονίκη
IG II2 1622.666 | 346/5 BC |Derived from the words ἀγαθός and νίκη. It’s a name indicating an
honorable win. | Simple Names
3. Ἀγλαΐα
IG II2 1622.597; IG II2 1626.47 |346/5-332/1 BC | Ἀγλαΐα was one of the Graces who presided over
victory in the games, but in this case, it refers to splendour and beauty. | Actual Characteristics
4. Ἄγλαυρος
IG II2 1605.12 | 372/1 BC | She was the daughter of Cecrops, worshipped on the Acropolis of Athens. |
Mythology / Religion
5. Ἀγρευούσα
IG II2 1622.623 | 346/5 BC | Huntress | Wa r -Related Titles
6. Αἰαντεία
IG II2 1618.97; IG II2 1624.75; IG II2 1630.8 -9; I 2012b.65 | 357/6-326/5 BC | of Ajax (son of Telamon)
| Mythology / Religion
7. Αἴγλα
IG II2 1611.187 |357 BC | More precisely spelled as αἴγλη, refers to the light of the sun or moon, the
daylight, or generally, a radiance or gleam, and it is usually used for shining objects. | Actual
Characteristics
8. Αἰθιοπίδα
IG II2 1611.204, 235, 240, 243, 246; IG II2 1631.634 |357-323/2 BC | Αἰθιοπίς is a name of an Epic
Poem in the Homeric cycle, but the word is more widely used to describe a red brown colour. It derives


from the words αἴθω and ὄψ, translating to burnt face. I believe this is a reference to the colour of the ship, which must have been darker than usual. | Actual Characteristics 9. Αἰχμὴ IG II2 1607.7; IG II2 1611.68 | 373/2-357 BC | Point of a spear or sword | Wa r -Related Titles 10. Ἀκοή IG II2 1611.78; IG II2 1612.36; I 2012a.30 | 357/5 BC | Hearing, the one who listens, this peculiar name may refer to the type of service the trireme provided to the navy, for example it could be a scout ship send out before battle. | Abstract Characteristics 11. Ἀκροπόλει IG II2 1611.188 | 357 BC | It is hard not to think of tying this name to the Acropolis of Athens, but based on spelling I would argue it refers to the ship being protected as a citadel or castle. We know that triremes had a cover for the oarsmen, this might have been particularly high, making the trireme even well protected. | Abstract Characteristics 12. Ἀκροτέρα IG II2 1611.239, 242, 250, 255. | 357 BC | The name points towards something that is either very high or very far. It could be referring to some kind of military tactic, and this ship was the furthest one, maybe providing support through flanking. | Actual Characteristics 13. Ἀκτὶς IG II2 1629.645-646, 768, 849; IG II2 1631.163-164, 204, 546; I 7316.39 | 325/4-323/2 | Going back to the concept of light and shine, this name translates to ray or beam, while metaphorically can be attested also as brightness. | Abstract Characteristics 14. Ἀλκμένε IG II2 1604*a.4 | 379/8 BC | Ἀλκμήνη is the more recognizable spelling, she is the mother of Hercules. | Mythology / Religion 15. Ἀλκύονα IG II2 1611.79; I 2012a.31 | 357 BC | The name is attested in literature with a mythical bird, probably identified as the kingfisher. | Animal Reference 16. Ἄμεμπτος
IG II2 1609.105; IG II2 1611.67, 374; IG II2 1613.133 | 366/5 – 353/1 BC | Blameless, without reproach, perfect. | Abstract Characteristics 17. Ἅμιλλα IG II2 1613.11 | 353/1 BC | She who fights for superiority. | Abstract Concepts 18. Ἀμπρακιῶτις IG II2 1607.64 | 373/2 BC | A city of ancient Greece close to modern Arta. | Placenames 19. Ἀμυνομένη IG II2 1604.87; IG II2 1611.223 | 379/8-357 BC | She who defends. It is difficult to judge whether this was a name given to a trireme after successfully defending Athens or this was rather a wishful name to be fulfilled in the future. | Abstract Characteristics 20. Ἀμφίπολις IG II2 1611.341 | 357/8 BC | Even though the word usually refers to an encompassing city, as a name I believe it must refer to the ship encompassing the city, and in a sense protecting it | Abstract Characteristics 21. Ἀμφιτρίτη IG II2 1622.741; IG II2 1623.43; IG II2 1629.492 | 346/5-325/4 BC | Amphitrite is Poseidon’s wife, usually personified as the sea in poetry. | Mythology / Religion 22. Ἀνδραγαθία IG II2 1604.37 | 379/8 BC | The brave one, virtuous. | Abstract Characteristics 23. Ἀνδρεία IG II2 1628.440, IG II2 1629.961 | 326-324 BC | Manliness | Abstract Concepts 24. Ἀνθηρά IG II2 1622.683; IG II2 1626.431; IG II2 1628. 572 | 346/5-326/5 BC |Usually means blooming, but in this case the meaning is closer to young. | Actual Characteristics 25. Ἀνθιππασία IG II2 1612.115, 320 | 357-55 BC | Sham fight of horse. | Miscellaneous 26. Ἀνθοῦσα IG II2 1604.89 | 379/8 BC | A name indicating a young age. | Actual Characteristics
27. Ἄνυσις IG II2 1611.386; IG II2 1613.312; I 7450.14 | 357-353/1 BC | The accomplished one. | Abstract Characteristics 28.

Ἀργυρᾶ IG II2 1607.142; I 2012a.70 | 373-357 BC | The silver one, probably refers to some silver parts of the ship’s hull. | Actual Characteristics 32. Ἀρεία IG II2 1611.120; IG II2 1611.135; IG II2 1611.165; IG II2 1612.42; I 2012b.39 | 357-355 BC | Of Ares | Mythology / Religion 33.

Ἀριστονίκη IG II2 1632.189 | 323/2 BC | Combination of the words for excellence and victory. | Simple Names 36. Ἁρπαγέ
IG II2 1604.16 | 379/8 BC | Most common spelling is Αρπαγῆ. Seized, booty, prey. Probably this ship was captured after a battle and dragged into Piraeus, to later be incorporated in the Athenian fleet with a name reminding her origin | Actual Characteristics 37. Ἀρτεμισία IG II2 1605.29-30; IG II2 1611.68; IG II2 1613.149 | 372/1 – 353/1 BC | Of Artemis. | Mythology / Religion 38. Ἀσκληπιὰς IG II2 1607.66; IG II2 1611.92; IG II2 1627.254; IG II2 1628.471; I 2012b.73 | 373/2-326/5 BC | Of Asclepios | Mythology / Religion 39. Ἀσκοῦσα IG II2 1632.273-274 | 323/2 BC | The verb is usually used to describe something that is finely made. There is also a second meaning of the word, usually used in Prose regarding athletic exercise, meaning practice, exercise, or train. I would prefer the latter, because there is no evidence of a ‘training trireme’ in the Athenian navy, and even if they did, they would not have listed it in the triremes docked and ready for service. | Actual Characteristics 40. Ἀταλάντη IG II2 1612.103; I 7450.29 | 357-355 BC | She is a figure of mythology, known as the only woman Argonaut. | Mythology / Religion 41.

Ἀφετέ IG II2 1604*a.8 | 379/8 BC |Most common spelling is ἀφετή, which possibly means ‘the one which was let go of ’. I would argue that the name is reference to Ἀφεταί, a port in Magnesia (Ancient Thessaly), a port known as the departure point of the Argonauts. | Placenames

Γένεσις IG II2 1606.69; IG II2 1607.152 -153 | 376/4-373/2 BC | The meaning of the word lies somewhere in between origin or source. There is also a use of the word as a creation. It is unclear how it ties into names of warships. | Miscellaneous 50. Γενναία IG II2 1604.63; IG II2 1611.187; I 2012b.30 | 379-357 BC | For people, this is used to describe a noble, high-born individual.
