EDITORS COMMENTS
Deteriorating Army of Darius the Great in Desert" is a haunting image that transports us back to the ancient world and the tragic tale of Persian Emperor Darius I's ill-fated campaign against the Scythians, as recounted by the Greek historian Polyaenus. In the photo print, we see a desolate desert landscape, dotted with the deteriorating remains of Persian soldiers and their horses. The once proud and powerful army of Darius the Great lies scattered across the arid expanse, a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of war and the capricious nature of the elements. According to Polyaenus, it was a pastor named Sirakes of the Saka tribe who led Darius and his army into the desert, intending to mislead them to their deaths. The Persian warriors, trusting their leader, followed Sirakes, only to find themselves lost and struggling against the relentless heat, thirst, and hunger. Despairing and desperate for salvation, they called out for rain, but it never came. The deteriorating condition of the soldiers and their mounts in the print is a testament to the unforgiving desert and the devastating consequences of misplaced trust. The image evokes a sense of sadness and awe, inviting us to reflect on the human cost of war and the enduring power of history to capture our imagination. This powerful and evocative image is a must-have for anyone interested in ancient history, military history, or the human condition. It is a poignant reminder of the past and a testament to the enduring allure of the ancient world.
