History of the Marathon Campaign of 490 BC well documented in the historical book Marathon 490 BC by Nicholas Sekunda. This superb book on the first Persian invasion of Greece published by Osprey Books available from the military print company.

The story of the Marathon campaign is an epic of the Ancient World.  When the Ionian Greeks revolted against their Persian overlords in 499BC, the cities of Athens and Eritria came to their aid.  The Persian King Darius swore vengeance and in 490 BC a fleet of 600 ships packed with troops was sent to take revenge on the Athenians.  This book details how the Greeks met the Persians in battle at Marathon and drove them in rout back to their ships.  The moral effect of this victory was enormous - for the first time a Greek army had defeated the Persians and demonstrated the superiority of hoplite tactics.
