In page Greek fire:

"
  • In Michael Crichton's sci-fi novel Timeline, Professor Edward Johnston is stuck in the past in 14th-century Europe, and claims to have knowledge of Greek fire.[4]
  • In Mika Waltari's novel The Dark Angel, some old men who are the last ones who know the secret of Greek fire are mentioned as present in the last Christian services held in Hagia Sophia before the Fall of Constantinople. The narrator is told that in the event of the city's fall, they will be killed so as to keep the secret from the Turks.[citation needed]
  • In George R. R. Martin's fantasy series of novels A Song of Ice and Fire, and its television adaptation Game of Thrones, wildfire is similar to Greek fire. It was used in naval battles as it could remain lit on water, and its recipe was closely guarded.[5]
