“The Destruction of Sennacherib“ by Lord Byron (read by Tom O’Bedlam)
Sennacherib was king of Assyria who invaded Judea twice, defeated Babylon and rebuilt Nineveh after it had been destroyed by Babylonians. He died in 681 BC.
The verse form is tetrameters of anapests which are supposed to sound like galloping horses. This poem was published in 1815
According to the Bible, Kings 19:35, an angel struck down 185,000 men in the Assyrian camp
“The Downfall of Sennacherib“ was by Peter Paul Rubens in the early 1600s
Ogden Nash said, ““What? There was only ONE Assyrian? And since when do wolves wear purple and gold?“
