EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled 'Marathon (Vogel): Miltiades and the Athenians and Plataeans Defeat the Persian Army of Darius Hystaspes,' transports us back to the pivotal moment in ancient Greek history when the small army of 11,000 Athenians and Plataeans, led by the brilliant strategist Miltiades, defied the odds and defeated the massive Persian army of 60,000 under King Darius Hystaspes. The Battle of Marathon took place in September 490 BC, marking a significant turning point in the Greco-Persian Wars. The image, produced by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, vividly depicts the chaotic scene of the battlefield, with Persian soldiers charging towards their Greek adversaries. The Athenians and Plataeans, determined and resolute, stand their ground, ready to defend their homeland. Miltiades, depicted in the center, directs his troops with unwavering focus and courage. The Battle of Marathon is considered one of the most famous military engagements in history due to its unexpected outcome. The Persian army, which had recently conquered much of the Greek world, was expected to easily overpower the Greek forces. However, the Greeks' superior tactics and unyielding spirit led to a decisive victory, halting the Persian invasion and boosting Greek morale. This print serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit and courage of the ancient Greeks, and the profound impact their battles had on the course of history. It is a powerful reminder of the enduring legacy of Greek culture and the importance of perseverance in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
