8660807 Discomfiture of the Persian Army at Delphi (litho) by Rowlandson, George Derville (1861-1930) (after); Private Collection; (add.info.: Discomfiture of the Persian Army at Delphi. After the battle of Thermopylae a Persian force marched towards Delphi, probably with an idea of plundering the shrine. They approached along the pass through the mountains in a terrific thunderstorm, and rocks, moved apparently by supernatural agency, rolled down upon them. Their superstitious fears caused the hasty flight of the invaders, which a sortie by the Delphians soon turned into a rout. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920).

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the dramatic moment of the Discomfiture of the Persian Army at Delphi, a pivotal event in ancient Greek history. The scene depicts a Persian force marching towards Delphi after their defeat at Thermopylae, only to be met with a terrifying thunderstorm and supernatural forces seemingly moving rocks to block their path.
The superstitious fears of the invaders quickly turned into panic as they fled from the wrath of nature and the mysterious powers at play. A brave sortie by the Delphians further contributed to turning this encounter into a decisive rout for the Persians.
The artist, George Derville Rowlandson, skillfully brings this historical event to life with intricate details and dynamic composition. The mountainous terrain of Delphi serves as a dramatic backdrop for this clash between civilizations, highlighting both the beauty and danger of nature in shaping human destinies.
This lithograph is not just a visual representation but also a window into an important chapter in Greek history, showcasing bravery, superstition, and ultimately victory against all odds. It serves as a reminder of how ancient beliefs and natural elements could influence military outcomes and shape the course of nations.
