EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking view of the Marathon Plain from the vantage point of Mount Pentelikon in Greece. The image transports us back in time to the ancient battlefield where the legendary Marathon Battle took place in 490 BC. The undulating terrain of the plain is dotted with small farms and vineyards, the green fields contrasting beautifully with the rugged, rocky hills in the background. In the distance, the Aegean Sea glimmers in the sunlight, adding to the sense of timeless beauty and history. The Marathon Battle is one of the most famous events in Greek history, immortalized in legend as the site of the decisive victory of the Athenian army over the invading Persians. The heroic run of the soldier Pheidippides from the battlefield to Athens to deliver the news of the victory is also a part of this enduring tale. This photograph offers a unique perspective on the historical landscape, allowing us to imagine the events that unfolded here over 2,500 years ago. The photograph was taken in 1906, a time when the ancient history of Greece was being rediscovered and celebrated. The image captures the essence of the country's rich cultural heritage and its deep connection to the past, making it a valuable historical record and a beautiful work of art in its own right.
