Proceedings of the Marathon Conference 2010 (Bics Supplement 124): Volume 124","description":"Some two and a half millennia ago, in the summer of 490 BC, a small army of 9,000 Athenians, supported only be a thousand troops from Plataea, faced and overcame the might of the Persian army of King Darius I on the plain of Marathon. While this was only the beginning of the Persian Wars, and the Greeks as a while would face a far greater threat to their freedom a decade later, the victory at Marathon had untold effects on the morale, confidence, and self-esteem of the Athenians, who would commemorate their finest hour in art and literature for centuries to come. This volume, which includes twenty-one papers originally presented at a colloquium hosted by the Faculty of Philology at the University of Peloponnese, Kalamata in 2010 to mark the 2,500th anniversary of the battle, is a celebration of Marathon and its reception from classical antiquity to the present era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Carey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1905670524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781905670529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of London Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Christopher Carey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48519593263359,"sku":"9781905670529","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_59755da9-d3f4-4426-81ba-07ac7f6a6c0b.jpg?v=1778737812","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/marathon-2500-years-proceedings-christopher-carey-9781905670529","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
