Greek fire was used in battles during the Byzantine Empire era and it was very effective. The Byzantines won a lot of battles because of it. The ingredients were kept a secret and unfortunately this secret was lost through the centuries. From what I can gather it was a kind of flammable liquid that was thrown to the enemy and could not be put out easily. It must have contained crude oil among other explosive materials.
