Marathon, Greece .
The Athenians fought the Persians in the Battle of Marathon, a town in Attika. Thy myth says a soldier, Feidippides, ran to Athens, 40 km, to tell about their victory. The battle is history, the running is a myth.
There was no city of Marathon. It was a plain 26 miles north of Athens.
It is a little more than 42 kilometres. In 490Bc, the Greeks won at Marthon against the Persians. A soldier ran from Marathon to Athens to report on the victory. He died after the crucial sentence. In honour of that soldier, the distance and the name is the sameof the event of Marathon.
