Publisher's Synopsis

The Battle of Marathon in 490B.C. is not only the most decisive event in the struggle between the Greeks and the Persians but, arguably a defining event for Western civilisation. John Stuart Mill famously proposed 'the Battle of Marathon, even as an event in British history, is more important than the Battle of Hastings.'
