The Run That Changed History Forever: Marathon 490 BCE In 490 BCE, an exhausted Greek messenger named Pheidippides ran 26 miles from Marathon to Athens and died delivering a message that saved Western civilization. This is his story—and why millions run marathons today without knowing they're honoring his ultimate sacrifice. 🏛️ THE STORY YOU'RE ABOUT TO WATCH: When the Persian Empire—the superpower of the ancient world—set its sights on Athens, the birthplace of democracy hung by a thread. After an impossible victory at the Battle of Marathon, the Greeks faced a new crisis: the Persian fleet was racing to attack defenseless Athens while every Greek warrior was 26 miles away on the battlefield. One man would have to outrun an empire's navy. ⚔️ WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: How one man's death run literally saved democracy, philosophy, and Western thought The TRUE origin of why marathons are 26.2 miles (and why most runners don't know) #history #marathon #doyouknow #historyfacts #greekhistory #storytime #persian #battle #origin #ancientgreece #truestory
