No, the Athenians had been waiting in the hills for them to arrive, when they saw the Persian cavalry being loaded on ships, and seized the opportunity to run down and defeat the inferior Persian infantry unprotected by its cavalry. When the Spartans arrived, they inspected the battlefield, congratulated the Athenians and went home.
What else can I help you with?
Did Athens defeat the spartians in the battle of Marathon?
No. It defeated a Persian expeditionary force. Athens and Sparta were then friends. Pheidippides ran to Sparta to summon them to help, but the Spartans didn't arrive in time before the battle was fought.
What was the name of the battle where the Greeks defeated the Persians and then sent Pheidippides to Athens?
The Battle of Marathon. However Pheidippides was already dead at the time. He had been sent to Sparta to summon them to Marathon, a round trip of 120 miles. He died as a result of that run, and so was not available to go to Athens after the battle. After the battle, the Athenians realised there was an attack by sea on the city, and their army of 9,000 all ran back the 26 miles, getting there just in time to save the city. Sorry, no Pheidippides, but a whole army did the run which formed the basis of today's marathon run.
One immediate outcome of the Battle of Thermopylae was that Athens and Sparta finally united true or false?
Sparta and Athens had been allies for some time. Sparta helped Athens in its struggle for democracy in late 507 BCE, and had also sent its army to help Athens at Marathon in 490 BCE 10 years earlier but had arrived too late for that battle. Athens was not present at Thermopylae, its forces were committed to manning its navy at the simultaneous battle of Artemesium. So the answer is False - Athens and Sparta were allies long before joining other southern Greek cities which united to repel the Persian invasion, and remained allies until 460 BCE when they had a falling out.
What time did the battle of marathon start?

What was the role of Pheidippidees in the Battle of Marathon?
None - he was dead by then. The role of Pheidippides was to run all the way from Athens to Sparta to summon them to the battle at Marathon. He died, hallucinating when he got back after the 120 mile round trip. It is ofted told he ran the 26 miles from Marathon to Athens to tell of the victory there. He was dead by then. It was the whole 9,000 of the Athenian army which ran, fully armed, back to Athens after the battle, as they realised the Persian cavalry was being sent around by sea to attack the city in their absence. They got there just in time.

The person that ran 26 miles to Rome to tell the new of the victory at Marathon?
Rome was an unimportant city in Italy in 490 BCE, thousands of kilometres away, and had no interest in Marathon. The city-state which won the battle of Marathon was Athens. After their army had defeated the Persian infantry at the battle, they realised that the Persians had sent their fleet around to Athens to capture the city in their absence, so their army of 18.000 ran the 26 miles back to the city, arriving just in time. The story of Pheidippides doing the run is a fake - he was already dead from the exhaustion of running a couple of hundred kilometers to Sparta to call for their help.
