Question

Who won the battle of Marathon?

Answer 1

The Athenians (Greeks)

Explanation:

This was the first attempt at conquering the Greeks that the Persians tried. It was a smaller operation than the next attempt but the success of the Greeks in this one help make the resistance to the next successful.

The next attempt included the Persians amassing a huge army and moving it to Greece, the Battle of Thermopylae and the occupation of Athens by the Persians. The Greeks defeated the Persians at the Naval Battle of Salamis and its army was forced to retreat. The Greeks managed to recover from this and the Greek legacy on western thought and philosophy endured.
