The Athenians would have had a Persian-appointed tyrant to govern them, they would in due course have expelled the tyrant as they had done before, and the Greek city-states would have continued fighting each other as was their custom.
The Greeks would have made a comeback and regained their independence in due course. And of course, the Persians attempted to subdue mainland Greece only, leaving a hundred cities in the Western Mediterranean independent and able to intervene on their side, just as mainland Greece had been intervening in Asia to held the Greek cities there against Persian rule, which was what brought on the Persian attempt on mainland Greece.
Look what happened when the Ottoman Empire took over Greece - it freed itself within 300 years in 1832 CE.
Very little. Persia was going to re-instal an Athenian tyrantHippias whom they had expelled earlier. In due course Athens woul hae expelled him again when the opportunity presented.
It didn't
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.
Because most of the records historians have about the Persians were written by Greeks, the history is very skewed (Greeks hated the Persians- they had lots of wars). It's very negatively biased.

That's just it we don't know if history was or wasn't changed by someone.
I am studying this right now in history the athenians fought against the Persians in 480 b.c.

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.
