EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Miltiades, an Athenian general who played a crucial role in the Battle of Marathon. Created in 1830 by an unknown artist, this portrait showcases Miltiades' commanding presence and distinguished features. Miltiades hailed from a prestigious lineage; his father was Cimon Coalemos, a renowned Olympic chariot-racer, and he himself would become the father of Cimon, a notable Athenian statesman. This image is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin and Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin. With his bearded face turned slightly away from the viewer's gaze, Miltiades exudes strength and wisdom. The intricate details captured in this engraving bring to life both his physical prowess as well as his military expertise. As one contemplates this portrait of Miltiades against the backdrop of ancient Greece's rich history and culture, it serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy left behind by great leaders like him. His strategic brilliance during the Battle of Marathon ensured victory for Athens against overwhelming odds. This print not only offers us a glimpse into one man's life but also invites us to delve deeper into our collective past—into tales of heroism on distant battlefields that continue to inspire generations even today.
