History of the Marathon

Legend says that when the Greeks defeated the Persians in the Battle of Marathon in 490 B.C., a runner by the name of Pheidippides was tasked with the mission to report the good news back in Athens, Greece. At the end of his 22 mile journey, he was known to have said:

"Rejoice! We Conquer!"

After that he died of exhaustion.
