- The Battle of Marathon is a rhymed, dramatic, narrative-poem by Elizabeth Barrett (later Browning). Written in 1820, when Barrett was aged 14, it retells powerfully The Battle of Marathon, during which the Athenian state defeated the much larger invading force during the first Persian invasion of Greece. When Darius the Great orders his immense army to march west to annex additional territories, no-one in the Persian court predicted that some fractious, independent Greek city-states stood any chance against the Persian super-power. And yet at Marathon in 490 BC, Darius' plans received a decisive check in the brilliant Athenian offensive overseen by the aged but hardy Miltiades, who overran the Persian army just landed upon their coasts, cutting their opponents down to the last man. Some of the Greeks' enemies are more than mortal; Aphrodite herself swears vengeance for the actions of their forebears in destroying her beloved Troy generations earlier. The poem is written in heroic couplet that is in iambic pentameter rhymed AABBCCDD... (en)
- The Battle of Marathon – poemat epicki angielskiej poetki Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Autorka napisała go w wieku jedenastu-dwunastu lat i ukończyła w 1819 roku. Ojciec poetki wydał zbiorek w 1820. To właśnie jemu czternastoletnia Elizabeth zadedykowała utwór:To Him,/to whom "I owe the most"/and whose admonitions have guided my Youthful Muse even from her earliest infancy,/to the Father,/Whose never-failing kindness, whose unwearied affection I never can repay,/I offer these pages,/as a small testimony of the gratitude of His affectionate child/Elizabeth B. Barrett. Poemat jest napisany parzyście rymowanym pentametrem jambicznym, czyli dystychem bohaterskim. The war of Greece with Persia's haughty King, No vulgar strain, eternal Goddess, sing! What dreary ghosts to glutted Pluto fled. What nations suffered, and what heroes bled: Sing Asia's powerful Prince, who envious saw The fame of Athens, and her might in war; And scorns her power, at Cytherea's call Her ruin plans and meditates her fall; How Athens blinded, to the approaching chains By Vulcan's artful spouse, unmoved remains; Utwór opowiada o bitwie pod Maratonem, która rozegrała się w 490 r. p.n.e. Warto dodać, że wiersz o bitwie pod Maratonem, zatytułowany napisał również mąż poetki, Robert Browning. (pl)
