EDITORS COMMENTS
The Battle of Salamis, fought on October 27, 480 BC, was a pivotal moment in ancient Greek history. This iconic image captures the final moments of a brave Persian admiral, who was the bravest of King Xerxes' brothers, as he meets his demise at the hands of the Greek forces. The Persian fleet, which outnumbered the Greeks, was attempting to block the Euripus Straits to prevent the Greek reinforcements from reaching Athens. However, the Greeks, under the command of Themistocles, managed to lure the Persian fleet into a narrow channel where they could be effectively surrounded and defeated. In this powerful and evocative print, we see the Persian admiral, dressed in full armor and wielding a large shield, engaged in fierce combat with Greek soldiers. His legs are spread apart, indicating that he is in the midst of battle, while his arms are raised, holding a weapon. The expression on his face suggests determination and courage, even in the face of certain death. The print also depicts the chaos and intensity of the battle, with ships burning in the background and men clashing with swords and spears. This historical event marked a turning point in the Greco-Persian Wars, as the Greeks were able to hold off the Persian invasion and ultimately emerge victorious. The Battle of Salamis is still celebrated as a symbol of Greek bravery and resilience, and this print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during this pivotal moment in history.
