SaberFate

1453, a year that marked the end of an era
With one city's fall, a shift from Medieval to Modern
Constantinople, a name etched in time
For a thousand years, stood strong and sublime

Against foes that dreamed to take her down
She persisted, unbroken, a true crown
But tonight, everything changes
Guns fired, women weep, men yell in ranges

Praying to God for a savior's grace
To rescue their city, to restore its place
In history's twist, God answered their plea
Sending a new emperor, the one they'd need

Antonius, born of the seas
To lead the Romans, a new destiny
To reach another pinnacle of might
And end the city's terrible plight

1453, a year that will forever divide
Medieval and Modern, with a fallen city as the divide

1453: Revival of Byzantium

"οὐδεὶς γὰρ οὕτω ἀνόητος ἐστὶ ὅστις πόλεμον πρὸ εἰρήνης αἱρέεται· ἐν μὲν γὰρ τῇ οἱ παῖδες τοὺς πατέρας θάπτουσι, ἐν δὲ τῷ οἱ πατέρες τοὺς παῖδας."

"No man is so foolish as to desire war more than peace: for in peace sons bury their fathers, but in war fathers bury their sons."

-        The Persian Wars, Herodotus, translated by A. D. Godley

"Turn around, head towards the Hippodrome."

"But madam, there are way too many people out there, as the guard appointed by the Caesar himself it is my duty to stop you from getting yourself in to danger, in case any thing…"

"Listen to me, I am your direct superior."
