Summary "Historical Parallels, vol. 2 of 3" by Arthur Thomas Malkin is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume appears to explore significant battles and events in ancient and medieval history, including the Battle of Marathon and the Siege of Vienna, drawing parallels between them to highlight their implications for freedom and resistance against oppression. The opening of the work sets the stage for a detailed examination of these historical events, starting with the political turmoil in ancient Athens following the expulsion of Hippias. It introduces key figures such as Cleisthenes, who sought to establish democracy amid rivalry and conflict with Isagoras and Sparta. The narrative then progresses through significant military confrontations, illustrating the courage of the Athenians at Marathon, their strategic responses to Persian threats, and the broader themes of liberty and valor against overwhelming odds. As the author delves into these battles, he links them to later historical moments, emphasizing the importance of resistance and national identity through vivid storytelling and historical analysis.
