Marathon. Greece. View of the burial mound or tumulus of the 192 Athenian hoplites that died in battle here against the Persians in 490 BC in the famous Battle of Marathon. The massive mound (soros) contains the ashes of the 192 Athenians (they were cremated and buried immediately after the battle) who were part of a small Greek force of around 8, 000 free citizen soldiers who won a decisive victory over the 23, 000 strong Persian army in 490 BC. Following the victory, Pheidippides, a swift Athenian solider was sent to the Agora in Athens, where after announcing the victory, he collapsed and died from exhaustion. In memory of this event, the modern marathon covers the distance Pheidippides ran.
