Persia was huge and bigger and wanted to capture Athens all of the greeks soldiers waited on top of the hill the other marathon was down bottom there was 48,000 persians and 10,000 greeks soldiers. The greeks ran for two days to sent down the messenger to get help from the sparta the sparta said they will not fight Intill the full moon.
The greeks could not hold it no more so they just fighted the persians. The greeks ran up and kill them and they won only 6400 persians were killed but only 192 greeks died the persians ran to their ship and went away. They try to go to athens to capture the greeks woman.
