A messenger by the name of Pheidippides, although there is some contention as to whether this actually happened. Pheidippides WAS sent with a request for aid from Marathon to Sparta, which was a distance of 240 km (which only took him two days). The story relates that he traveled back to the battle was was then sent to Athens with news of victory. Then, after running only 40km, he collapsed dead after announcing the victory.
Who was the athenian runner who spread the news of the victory of the Persians an Marathon?
It was 18,000 Athenian warriors who ran back after their successful battle at Marathon to protect Athens from assault by sea in their absence. They ran back when they realised that the Persian cavalry was heading to Athens on ships. They ran the 26 miles, arriving just as the Persian cavalry was disembarking to take the city. There is a fake story that Pheidippides ran back to tell of the Marathon victory. He was already dead, dying from exhaustion after running to Sparta to summon them to held repel the Persian invasion.
Where did Pheidippides run from to warn Athens of a Persian attack?
Nowhere. Athens sent Pheidippides to run to Sparta to summon them to help fight the Persians. The 120 mile return trip killed him.
What was the name of the battle where the Greeks defeated the Persians and then sent Pheidippides to Athens?
The Battle of Marathon. However Pheidippides was already dead at the time. He had been sent to Sparta to summon them to Marathon, a round trip of 120 miles. He died as a result of that run, and so was not available to go to Athens after the battle. After the battle, the Athenians realised there was an attack by sea on the city, and their army of 9,000 all ran back the 26 miles, getting there just in time to save the city. Sorry, no Pheidippides, but a whole army did the run which formed the basis of today's marathon run.
