They were wise, for the president next conquered the city of Eritrea and captured its people.
Tint Athens stood alone against Persia. The Anthenian people to their sanctuaries. There they prayed for deliverance. They asked their gods to expedite their victory. The Anthenians refurbished their weapons and moved to the plan of Marathon where their little band would meet the Persians. At the last moment, soldiers from Plataea reinforced the Anthenian troops.
The Anthenian army attacked and Greek citizens fought bravely. The power of the mighty Persians was offset by the love that the Anthenians had for their city. Athenians defeated the Persians in both archery and combat. Greek soldiers seized Persians sheep and burned them and the Persians fled in terror. Herodotus, a famous historian, reports 6400 persians died, compared to only 192 Athenians.
