Marathon - The Battle of Marathon 490 BC (2)

A visit to the battlefield where the Athenians took on the might of the Persian army in 490 BC.
Just 10,000 Athenians fought a bloody battle with 25,000 Persians and by the end of the battle 192 Athenians were dead compared with 6,400 Persians.
The battle site is also the location of the tumulus where the 192 Athenians are buried. As at Thermopylae, a very strange feeling took hold of me near the tumulus...
My visit to Marathon was on 29 September 2015.
