EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of the 5th Century BC Ancient Age Army Athenian, showcasing a pivotal moment in history. The image transports us back to the Battle of Marathon, where brave Athenian soldiers fought valiantly against the invading Persian forces.
The rolling green hills of Attica serve as the backdrop for this historical battlefield, where countless soldiers lost their lives in defense of Greece. The burial mounds and tumulus scattered across the landscape stand as solemn reminders of the sacrifices made by these courageous warriors.
In the distance, we can see the vast plain where this epic battle took place, with no signs of life except for a lone runner resembling Pheidippides - who famously ran from Marathon to Athens to deliver news of victory before collapsing from exhaustion.
As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left by those who fought and died on this hallowed ground. The greco-persian wars may be long gone, but their impact on Greek history is still felt today.
This print is not just a mere depiction of a historical event; it is a powerful testament to the resilience and bravery of the ancient Athenians who stood firm in defense of their homeland against overwhelming odds.
