    "Go back 2,500 years to the wars between ancient Greece (West) and Persia (East).
    The Greco-Persian Wars 2,500 years ago were a clash between two peoples, two cultures,
    two systems of government and two continents. The first clash between East and West.
    A clash that has, sadly, continued all the way to today."

    2,500th Year of the Battle of Marathon, Greece

    2,500th Year of the Battle of Marathon, Greece

    The Battle of Marathon (490 BC) was the culmination of King Darius I of Persia's first major attempt to conquer the remainder of the Greeks
    and add them to the Persian Empire, thereby securing the weakest portion of his Western border. We mostly know of this battle from Herodotus.
    Darius first sent Mardonius in 492 BC overland to Europe in order to strengthen Persian domination in Thrace and Macedon that had been weakened by the
    Ionian Revolt. Although successful in those tasks, this force fell in a storm off Mount Athos and the remains were forced to return to Asia, suffering
    losses along the way. In 490 BC Datis and Artaphernes were sent in a purely maritime operation to force the Cyclades islands in the central Aegean
    to submit to Persia and punish Eretria and Athens for the help they had sent to the Ionian revolt. Eretria was sieged and fell, and then the fleet landed
    in Marathon bay. There the army was met by a small force of Athenian and Plataean hoplites and defeated, despite the Persian numerical advantage. The run by
    a dayrunner with news of the successful outcome of the battle to Athens proved the inspiration for the sport of the marathon race that was first run in the
    1896 Olympic Games.
