How The Battle Of Marathon Was Won By Greeks

By Helen Long


The history is not only a thread of events performed by various people from the past. It means more than that. It helps you understand the overall nature of human. It helps you analyzed and visualized the culture, technologies, and values of the ancient civilization. Most importantly, it helps you reflect on the failures created by kings and queens that had change the thread of history.

Among with the most legendary stories in the history, the Persian and Greek War is one of the most interesting. Especially during the Battle of Marathon. Greeks are not raised for battles. They were highly known for their credible mind and logical thinking. That is why, when King Darius tried to siege their kingdom, these people are put at a great disadvantage.

As you have known, Greece people in nature are not very keen in fighting. They do not have enough people who they could truly call as a soldier. With limited time and resources, fighting against the most dangerous army at that times might be pretty impossible.

Right after the Persian camp on the coast of Marathon, Greek generals tried to rely on some help from Sparta. Unlike Greece, Sparta has lots of men who are capable of fighting. They have tools and horses needed for the war. Their help was used to be their only ray of hope.

Greek people, on the other hand, does not have any trained soldiers for the war. They lack the manpower and even the horses to pursue their enemy. Truly, in order to win it, they would be needing a miracle. Wherever you look at it, these small country are bound to be capture.

This is how things turn out to be. To begin with, the situation is too unfavorable to Greece. The enemy thought so too. They underestimated the Greek Army too much. As a proof, they even load their horses back on their ship. That certain moment gives the Greek army an opportunity to start. With a credible wing formation, they set the Persian army into a trap.

After hearing the message, Sparta accepts the request. Sparta is a nation full of credible soldiers and military supplies. With their help, surely, the Greek Army would be able to save their country. Unfortunately, though, even with the agreement, Sparta asks for few more days before joining in the battlefield.

Through this, they managed to throw the Persian army back on its ship. This is the very beginning of Greece Persia War that had stirred a lot of historians and analysis all over the world. With their limited numbers, they become victorious through their own credits.

They approach the army with new types of pace and wing formation. Startled, it leaves the enemy with no choice but to get confused. In the battlefield where you are betting your life on the line, every second matters. It is too late for them to react and visualize the situation. Even their archers are left paralyzed. They cannot shoot while hitting both the Greek and their own people. Truly, that simple mistakes had lead to the victory of Greece.
