The story of the Marathon campaign is an epic of the Ancient World. When the Ionian Greeks revolted against their Persian overlords in 499 BC, the cities of Athens and Eretria came to their aid. The Persian King Darius swore vengeance and in 490BC a fleet of 600 ships packed with troops was sent to take revenge on the Athenians. At Marathon the Greeks met the Persians in battle 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Sekunda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841760005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841760001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.42h x 5.74w x 0.34d","brand":"Nicholas Sekunda","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45331833291007,"sku":"9781841760001","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b5d79710-ced6-4709-872d-c7c193da9449.jpg?v=1713971014","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/marathon-490-bc-nicholas-sekunda-9781841760001","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
