Marathonas

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

About the place : Marathonas is a place of great history and heroism! It is the place where one of the most important battles took place. In 490 BC, the Greeks battled with the Persians in the plain of Marathon. During the late 19th century, the excavations of Philios and Stais brought to light the famous tomb of Marathon, where the remains of the 192 Marathon fighters had been buried.
After the victory, Pheidippidis ran the 42 km (26 miles) to Athens to announce the outcome, then collapsed dead on the spot. A museum here displays finds from the area.
