Athens would have been returned to having a Tyrant installed by Persia. No doubt they would have expelled him again and Athens would have continued on its road to eventual democracy, just a bit delayed.

How might the history of Greece have changed if Persia won the battle at marathon?
The Persians had brought along the Athenian ex-tyrant Hippias who had been ousted twenty years before, who they intended to have rule Athens for them and keep it quiet.
