After defeating the Persian infantry on the Plain of Marathon in 490 BCE, the Athenian army realised that the Persian cavalry was being rowed around to land at Athens and gallop up to the city whose gates would be opened for them by traitors.

They ran back the 26 miles over the hills, arriving just in time to form up in front of the city as the Persian cavalry was being disembarked. Frustrated, the Persians went home.

Today’s marathon runners get it easy – they don’t have to carry armuor and weapons and wear sandals.
