   In Keeping with the alcohol theme I’m guessing that is a ancient name for ouzo the thick Greek alcoholic drink.

   Burning fire weapon is correct. ( Ouzo may also be a burning fire weapon when given to enemies and friends)

   Nitre, sulphur, and naphtha, hurled in a blazing state through tubes or tied to arrows.

   Who had these burning weapons first – the Greeks or the Chinese?….. I always thought the Chinese were first in anything to do with fireworks….. I thought the Greeks just sat around and wrote tragedy’s…..

   That mixture sounds a lot like the precurser to Napalm, Doesn’t the Dow Chemical family have some Greek back ground?
