在当今奥运会上,马拉松是一个重要的竞赛项目。那么这项运动是如何来的呢?这也许要追溯到古希腊时期的战争年代。波斯帝国的开国君主居鲁士是一个野心勃勃的人,他曾这样昭示天下:“我是居鲁士,宇宙的王,伟大的王,强有力的王,巴比伦的王,世界四方的王……”从公元前553年开始,只用了三年的时间,他就摧毁了小亚细亚强国米底亚,灭亡了古老的底格里斯河和幼发拉底河流域的新巴比伦王国。发展到第三代——大流士时,波斯帝国已经成为世界历史上第一个横跨欧、亚、非的庞大帝国。
In today’s Olympic Games, marathons are an important competition. So how does the sport come from? This may be traced back to the war years of ancient Greece. The founding ruler of the Persian Empire, Cyrus, was an ambitious man who once told us that “I am Cyrus, the king of the universe, the great king, the mighty king, the king of Babylon, the king of the four quarters of the world ... ”From the 553 BC onwards, in just three years, he destroyed Midian Asia, a small Asian nation, and destroyed the new Kingdom of Babylon in the ancient Tigris and Euphrates watersheds. When the third generation, Darius, was developed, the Persian Empire became the first large empire in world history to cross Europe, Asia and Africa.
