Marathon

Marathon is a village, 22 miles northeast of Athens, on the sea border of a plain where the Greeks under Miltiades on a world-famous occasion defeated the Persians under Darius in 480 BC. The plain on which the battle was fought extends between mountains on the West and the sea on the East.
