In 490BC the Persians fleet on 25000 in an area called Marathon. 10000 Athenians met them. Persians fled losing about 6000. Athenians lost less than 200. Marathon to Athens was ran by a runner named Pheidippides, he would tell them that they had won. The Athenians wet back to Athens and drove off the Persians again from attacking Athens. Xerxes-Darius the greats son. successor of Persian army. brought large army to take down greece. Greeks were divided on how to handle the Persian situation. Batle of Thermopylae was 300 spartans with 7000 Greeks against 30 to 50000 Persians. Traitors told Xerxes about a secret path around the pass. The spartans told the greeks to go and live to fight another day. the spartans stayed behind to fight the Persians. all 300 died.
