EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a pivotal moment in ancient history - the Battle of Marathon on 29 September 490 BC. In the image, Eucles is seen running from the battlefield to Athens with news of the Greek victory over the Persians. The intensity and urgency in his expression are palpable as he carries this crucial message.
Tragically, Eucles collapses and dies immediately after delivering the news of triumph. His sacrifice symbolizes the immense courage and dedication shown by those who fought for Greece during this historic battle.
The scene depicted in this print serves as a reminder of the bravery and resilience displayed by the Greek forces against overwhelming odds. It also highlights the high stakes involved in conflicts such as these, where lives were lost but victories were won through sheer determination and valor.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous event that shaped the course of history. The legacy of Marathon lives on through stories like these, inspiring future generations to stand up for what they believe in and fight for freedom against all odds.
