Frases de Atila

Atila fue el último y más poderoso caudillo de los hunos, tribu procedente probablemente de Asia, aunque sus orígenes exactos son desconocidos. Atila gobernó el mayor imperio europeo de su tiempo, desde el 434 hasta su muerte en 453. Conocido en Occidente como El azote de Dios, sus posesiones se extendían desde la Europa Central hasta el mar Negro, y desde el río Danubio hasta el mar Báltico. Durante su reinado fue uno de los más acérrimos enemigos del Imperio romano, que en esta etapa final del mismo estaba dividido en dos: el Imperio Oriental, con capital en Constantinopla, hoy Estambul; y el Imperio Occidental, con capital en Rávena, puesto que Roma había dejado de ser el centro político del imperio. Atila invadió dos veces los Balcanes, estuvo a punto de tomar la ciudad de Roma y llegó a sitiar Constantinopla. Marchó a través de la Galia y llegó incluso a Cenabum, la actual Orleans, hasta que el general romano Aecio le obligó a retroceder en la batalla de los Campos Cataláunicos en el 451 . Logró hacer huir al emperador de Occidente Valentiniano III de su capital, Rávena, en el 452.

El imperio de los hunos se desmembró y se extinguió tras la muerte de Atila. Los hunos fueron un pueblo nómada de cazadores y ganaderos de los que no se conservan registros escritos propios, por lo que los datos que conocemos provienen sobre todo de fuentes romanas. A pesar de todo, Atila se convirtió en una figura legendaria de la historia de Europa, y en gran parte de la Europa Occidental se le recuerda como el paradigma de la crueldad, la destrucción y la rapiña. Algunos historiadores, en cambio, lo han retratado como un rey grande y noble, y aparece entre los personajes principales en tres sagas escandinavas. Wikipedia

Attila

As quoted by Edward Gibbon (1781), The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Vol. III, chapter 34

“Here you stand, after conquering mighty nations and subduing the world. I therefore think it foolish for me to goad you with words, as though you were men who had not been proved in action. Let a new leader or an untried army resort to that. It is not right for me to say anything common, nor ought you to listen. For what is war but your usual custom? Or what is sweeter for a brave man than to seek revenge with his own hand? It is a right of nature to glut the soul with vengeance. Let us then attack the foe eagerly; for they are ever the bolder who make the attack. Despise this union of discordant races! To defend oneself by alliance is proof of cowardice. See, even before our attack they are smitten with terror. They seek the heights, they seize the hills and, repenting too late, clamor for protection against battle in the open fields. You know how slight a matter the Roman attack is. While they are still gathering in order and forming in one line with locked shields, they are checked, I will not say by the first wound, but even by the dust of battle. Then on to the fray with stout hearts, as is your wont. Despise their battle line. Attack the Alani, smite the Visigoths! Seek swift victory in that spot where the battle rages. For when the sinews are cut the limbs soon relax, nor can a body stand when you have taken away the bones. Let your courage rise and your own fury burst forth! Now show your cunning, Huns, now your deeds of arms! Let the wounded exact in return the death of his foe; let the unwounded revel in slaughter of the enemy. No spear shall harm those who are sure to live; and those who are sure to die Fate overtakes even in peace. And finally, why should Fortune have made the Huns victorious over so many nations, unless it were to prepare them for the joy of this conflict. Who was it revealed to our sires the path through the Maeotian swamp, for so many ages a closed secret? Who, moreover, made armed men yield to you, when you were as yet unarmed? Even a mass of federated nations could not endure the sight of the Huns. I am not deceived in the issue;--here is the field so many victories have promised us. I shall hurl the first spear at the foe. If any can stand at rest while Attila fights, he is a dead man.”
