No, I would not.  First, parachutes had not yet been invented, so while
Athens may have had pelagic soldiers (known in English as "Marines"), he did
not have any
para-pelagics.  Second,

There was an old Greek named Kleisthenes
Whose naval ideas were zanies
     His would-be stratagic
     Para-pelagic
Frogmen all quit while still trainees
