EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the ancient world of Greece in the 5th century BC. The image showcases Cimon Command, a prominent Athenian statesman and strategos, as he commands the Greek fleet of the Delian League before embarking on his historic expedition in 466 BC. Cimon's leadership skills and military prowess are evident as he stands tall on his ship, surrounded by rowers propelling their vessels forward with synchronized oars. This powerful scene captures the essence of ancient naval warfare and highlights Cimon's determination to defend Athens against its Persian adversaries. The significance of this momentous expedition becomes clear when we learn that it led to the destruction of both the Persian fleet and army at the Battle of Eurymedon River. Cimon's victory not only secured Athens' dominance over its enemies but also solidified its position within Greece. This vintage illustration offers us a glimpse into an era filled with grandeur and historical importance. It serves as a reminder of how individuals like Cimon shaped civilizations through their strategic brilliance and unwavering commitment to their city-state. Hilary Morgan has masterfully captured this pivotal moment in history through her archival artwork, allowing us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance contained within this remarkable piece.
