The mountains look on Marathon
And Marathon looks on the sea;
And musing there an hour,
I dreamed that Greece might still be free

Must we but weep o'er days more blest?
Must we but blush?---Our fathers bled.
Earth! render back from out thy breast
A remnant of our Spartan dead!
Of the three hundred grant but three,
To make a new Thermopylae.

Maid of Athens, ere we part,
Give, oh, give back my heart!
Or, since that has left my breast,
Keep it now, and take the rest!
Hear my vow before I go,

Zoë mou sas agapo.

By those tresses unconfined,
Wooed by each Aegean wind;
By those lids whose jetty fringe
Kiss thy soft cheeks' blooming tinge;
By those wild eyes like the roe,

Zoë mou sas agapo.

This is a temple to Poseidon at Sounion, the end cape of Attica. Sailors used to offer sacrifice here in hopes of a safe voyage. Lord Byron carved his name into one of the front pillars.
