The author showed a fragment of the Iliad referred to as the Catalogue of Ships, also called Beotia (Bojotia). The name of this part comes from the Beots, whose troops, arriving at Troy, were listed in the Catalogue as the first. The list contains in-formations about the Greek armed forces, rulers and chiefs of the Greek peoples who took part in the naval expedition and the war against the Trojans. It also determines the number of ships brought by the Greeks to Troy. Eager to go to war, they put themselves in Beocia near the city of Aulis where, on the Strait of Eurypus, a large port was located. It can also be assumed that the Catalogue of Greek troops begins with the army of Beocia because the ports of this land were chosen as the place of concentration of troops for the expedition against Troy. A collection of works called the Trojan Cycle was also characterized, which includes 29 books and from which only small fragments (epitomai) and summaries in the so-called Chrestomatia have survived. Despite such poor literature, they are an important source in reproducing the content of the Trojan cycle. The passage showing the Achaean army at Troy, which is a list of Greek nobility, is often omitted in the editions of the Iliad. However, for those studying the art of war, it is an extremely important record of Europe’s past.

The aim of this paper is to present the changes in the area of supply chain security in the years 2001-2016, with the emphasis on the new challenges from the environment of the supply chains, such as the increase of terrorist threat and migration crisis, which had a significant impact on the European countries and thus also on the companies operating in these countries. The analysis is based on statistical data from international databases and reports of international organizations on selected threats to supply chains, as well as on the results of surveys on supply chain security conducted using CATI (computer-aided telephone interviews) method, among Polish exporters and importers in 2013 and 2016. By comparing data and research results from different periods, it is possible to demonstrate the dynamic nature of security.

Róg Afryki, Zatoka Adeńska i Somalia były do niedawna uważane za jeden z najniebezpieczniejszych rejonów pod względem żeglugi na świecie. Ten niechlubny tytuł z pewnością zawdzięczyć może postkolonialnej przeszłości Somalii, jej słabości politycznej, ekonomicznej oraz, co za tym idzie, daleko posuniętej destabilizacji oraz pewnemu przyzwoleniu licznych społeczności lokalnych (somalijskich klanów) na uprawianie piractwa. W końcu przez sam nielegalny, morski proceder, który urósł do ogromnych rozmiarów, nad wyraz świetnie zarządzanego, mającego liczne powiązania (chociażby z organizacjami terrorystycznymi) syndykatu przestępczego, którego słabe wewnętrznie, podzielone poprzez różne frakcje państwo nie było w stanie samodzielnie zlikwidować, otwierając mu tym samym drogę do łatwego wzrostu. Dopiero dzięki inicjatywom organizacji międzynarodowych możliwe było uporanie się w mniejszym, lub większym stopniu z aktami piractwa w tamtym regionie, których z roku na rok odnotuje się mniejszą liczbę.

The Horn of Africa, the Gulf of Aden and Somalia were regarded as one of the most dangerous shipping areas in the world. This infamous title those areas owes to the post-colonial past of Somalia, its political and economic weakness and far-reaching destabilization, and consent of local communities (Somali clans) to engage in piracy. Finally, by the illegal, maritime practice, which has grown to a huge, well-managed criminal syndicate (which have numerous links – even with terrorist organizations), whose weak internal, divided by various factions state was unable to liquidate, thus opening the way for easy growth. Only by initiatives of international organizations was possible to deal with piracy acts in those regions (which each year will have a smaller number).
