    Phid, in some circles your request might be deemed…..unusual 😀

    Just curious.  I'm sure I could find it quickly enough.  From what I understand it's like napalm….a kind of liquid or gel substance which is not extinguished by water.

    I was under the impression that no one knew the actual recipe for greek fire

    I thought it may have been unknown for some time but I also thought that it is known nowadays.  I thought Greek Fire was designed so that when someone tried to extinguish it the flames only spread worse.  Perhaps you're thinking of the medieval metallurgy process of turning lead into gold?  😀
