During the Battle of Marathon in Athens Greece, an Athenian messenger boy called Pheidippides ran 26 miles to announce to the rest of Athens the victory they achieved.

Who was the person who ran 26 miles to Athens?
I'm a college student working on my major in standard English. After I graduate I will go back for a Doctors Degree. Anyway, the MYTH is that a man named Phillipidies ran 26 miles from the Marathon Plains in Greece to Athens. However, this is not true. When I was young I loved history and geography. The direct answer is Spartan leader, Leonidas sent some of the warriors to get some armor from Athens and while they were doing this they were being chased by Persians, so basically about 9,000 warriors ran to and fro Athens back to Marathon...... P.S. when I said "fro", I didn't mean from, I meant fro, and at the time of the run that the 9,000 warriors made, Phillipidies was already dead.
