How might the history of Greece have changed if the Persians had succeeded at the Battle of Marathon?

If the Persians had won the battle of Marathon, they would have carried out their plan to appoint exiled Athenian tyrant Hippias to rule the city and keep it from interfering in the Greek cities within the Persian Empire. For a period there would have been a more stable era, but the Greek cities would have continued fighting amongst themselves, as they indeed continued to do after they repelled the subsequent Persian invasion ten years later, so little would have changed.

How might the history of Greece have changed if the Persians have succeeded at Marathon?
The Greek world comprised over 2,000 independent city-states. Eretria and Athens had interfered in an uprising in Asia Minor against Persian rule. Persia sent an expeditionary force to take control of Athens and install an Athenian tyrant to stop the city from causing trouble again. If it had succeeded, Athens may have been prevented from its later expansion and generation of later wars between the Greek city-states.

Where did the Greeks get the idea of a marathon?
The Athenians fought the Persians in the Battle of Marathon, a town in Attika. Thy myth says a soldier, Feidippides, ran to Athens, 40 km, to tell about their victory. The battle is history, the running is a myth.
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. The Athenians would in due course have got rid of Hippias again and gone back to their own ways. So the history of Greece might have just paused for a decade then gone on just the same.
How long did the Battle of Marathon last?
The battle of Marathon ended very shortly after it began when Persians tried to flee by retreating to ships and swimming in swamps. I believe it was less than 3 hours because it started in midday and ended when the sun was still shining in the sky. I'm no history expert, just trying to help.......
