During a naval siege, which mechanism delivered 'Greek fire' using pressurized propulsion?

💡 Explanation

The siphōn used pressure to spray ignited Greek Fire, because pressurized propulsion increased range and accuracy and psychological impact on the enemy. Direct catapult launch and gravity less reliably targeted spread fire, therefore the effect would be substantially less imposing, rather than projecting the burning substance accurately.
