馬拉松戰役
the battle of marathon was fought in 490 bc, when the persians became enervated by luxury and servitude, and the athenians were animated by their freedom. in this battle, 9,000 athenians defeated the invading army of 25,000 persians, and pursued them to their very ships, of which they took seven.
one cynegirus, after performing prodigies of valour in the field, endeavoured to prevent a persian galley from putting to sea. he held it fast with his right hand; when his right hand was cut off, he seized the galley with his left, which being also cut off, he fought the enemy with his teeth until he was killed. another soldier, all covered with the blood of the enemy, ran the 26 miles from the battlefield to athens to announce the victory. after crying out,"rejoice, we are conquerors!" he fell dead.
