At first the current of the Persian host Withstood; but when within the strait the throng Of ships was gathered, and they could not aid Each other, but by their own brazen bows Were struck, they shattered all our naval host. great writing great 10+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So well penned. That valiant battle of history past is but not unclear to the mind as hererin presented...not without poetic aplomb. An engaging read this is.

History viewed through the frame of poetry... gets the urgency and the visual aspects across better than a dry newspaper-style reporting... the translator did a very smooth job here

Beautiful and captivating. There is a certain sense of thrill in poem’s lyrics. Probably this same thrill of emotions is what keeps humans indulge in war.

And from our side the rush of Persian speech Replied. No longer might the crisis wait. At once ship smote on ship with brazen beak; A vessel of the Greeks began the attack, Crushing the stem of a Phoenician ship.

A vivid picture of war has been presented astutely. Beautiful poem.

Such a great poem by Aeschylus👍👍👍

Were smiting round about; the hulls of ships, ..... well penned

The great freedom struggle and battle for it narrated in a captivating vein. Thanks for sharing it here.

A poem like never before. As though it was once written on the tablet of a Greek gods

Now that was the way to send a message home about a battle

Were things any better when poems served as the textbooks of history? Certainly they were no worse.
