The victory of the small Greek democracy of Athens over the mighty Persian Empire was furious because Athens had interceded for the other Greek city - states in revolt against Persian domination. In anger the king sent an enormous army to defeat Athens. He thought it would take drastic steps to pacify the rebellious part of the empire.

Persia was ruled by one man. In Athens, however all citiens helped to rule. Emboldened by this participation, Athenians were prepared to die for their city-state. Perhaps this was the secret of the remarkeable victory at the marathon,the Persian tried to fool some Greek city states by claiming to have come in peace. The frightened city of Delos refused to believe this. Not wanting to abet the conquest of Greece, they fled from their city and did not return until the Persians had left. 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.
