About the Book

MARATHON HOW 10,000 GREEKS DEFEATED THE PERSIAN EMPIRE Travel back to 490 BC and witness the moment when the fate of Western civilization hung in the balance. Marathon: How 10,000 Greeks Defeated the Persian Empire tells the extraordinary story of how a small army of citizen-soldiers from Athens and Plataea stood against the might of King Darius's vast Persian invasion force-and won one of the most legendary victories in history. This book brings the drama of the Battle of Marathon to life, from the tense days before the clash to the thundering charge across the plain that changed the course of the ancient world. Through vivid, fact-based storytelling, readers follow Miltiades, the Athenian general who crafted a daring strategy that turned courage and discipline into triumph. The hoplite phalanx, heavy armor, and unity of purpose proved more powerful than numbers and empire. Beyond the battle itself, Marathon explores the deeper meaning of this pivotal encounter-the birth of confidence in the Greek city-states, the defense of democracy's earliest form, and the first major check on Persian expansion. It also traces how the legend of the messenger who ran from Marathon to Athens inspired one of the world's most enduring athletic traditions. Drawing on ancient sources and modern analysis, Marathon: How 10,000 Greeks Defeated the Persian Empire offers a gripping and accessible look at one of history's defining moments. For readers passionate about ancient warfare, classical history, or the timeless struggle for freedom against overwhelming odds, this is the story of courage, unity, and victory that echoes across millennia.
