The Persian Commander got tired of waiting so he decided to sail south and attack the Athens directly .He ordered his troops back onto the ships, and it was then he made a big mistake. The first to board he decided, would be the horsemen in the cavalry, the strongest part of the Persian army. As soon as the cavalry was out of the fighting range, the Greeks charged down from the hills and onto the plain of the Marathon .They caught the Persian foot soldiers standing in the water, waiting their turn to board the ships. Unable to defend themselves, the Persians were easily defeated.
