Marathon 490 BC
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.
