Byron's poem Mazeppa, written in 1819, tells of Ukrainian hero, Mazeppa, a brilliant horseman whose skills were learnt when the King of Poland tied him naked to a horse and sent him back to Ukraine. The poem inspired lots of art including a strange piece of Staffordshire pottery.

Mazeppa (famously narrated by Byron) is a legend that tells of a man caught in adultery whose lover's jealous husband ties him to the back of a wild horse and releases it. The rest of the story is all the perils he goes through on his wild ride.

Very vividly, we can see the panting, galloping horse rush on and on—away, away!—and feel Mazeppa‘s anguish. At the end of the piece, this troubled music has given way to march music, depicting Mazeppa as triumphant survivor of the ordeal and leader of his cossack army.
