The Athenians send their best runner, Pheidippides, to Sparta to ask for help. The runner went out of the city on foot. Then he ran all that day and through the night and arrived in Sparta the next morning. He delivered the message, got the answer, and started the trip back.Just a few days later, the Athenian and Persian armies clashed in the now famous battle of Marathon, Pheidippides, although tired, participated in the battle as an infantryman. Unexpectedly, the Athenians defeated the Persians, Pheidippides was exhausted when the fighting came to an end, but even so, he accepted his commander’s request to carry the news of the victory to the anxious people of the city. He then, set out on his last and greatest run.The runner covered the distance of Marathon to Athens in just a few hours. He shouted “victory, victory,” and dropped to the pavement dead.
