Answer 2

There have been several recipes for Greek fire throughout the ages and some people claim that the true recipe has been lost. This is the recipe from a source that claims it was not lost.
( lime + naphtha + tallow + sulfur + pitch). The lime gets hot when it touches water. If water is thrown on the Greek fire the tallow makes it flare up and splatter fire everywhere. The naphtha increases the flammability of the Greek fire and may contribute to its auto-ignition on contact with water. The sulfur and pitch make it burn hotter and stickier.
If I were to "modernize" Greek fire I'd substitute sodium metal for the lime and switch the tallow sulfur and pitch for fuel oil.

Answer 3

They are a sense of humour, vasoline, and water, and not necessarily in that order. Vasoline and the water can be found just about anywhere. For the sense of humour one must be Greek. Not necessarily the Greeker but the Greekie! Ouch!!

Answer 4

No one knows for certain. There are several speculations as to what it could ahve been, but the actual recipe has been lost to the annals of time.
