Who was the athenian runner who spread the news of the victory of the Persians an Marathon?
It was 18,000 Athenian warriors who ran back after their successful battle at Marathon to protect Athens from assault by sea in their absence. They ran back when they realised that the Persian cavalry was heading to Athens on ships. They ran the 26 miles, arriving just as the Persian cavalry was disembarking to take the city. There is a fake story that Pheidippides ran back to tell of the Marathon victory. He was already dead, dying from exhaustion after running to Sparta to summon them to held repel the Persian invasion.

What is the site of a victory Greeks over Persians and the news of which was carriend by a long distance runner couering over 25miles?
Marathon, Greece .Addendum:The supposed runner Pheidippides carrying the message was already dead, dying of exhaustion after running to Sparta and back over 100 miles.The run was by the whole Athenian army after the battle as they realised that the Persians had sent another force to take Athens in their absence.all 9,000 ran back the 26 miles, arriving just in time. It is after them that the modern race is nameed.
What did the original marathon runner say just before he died?
Nike (which means victory)Another view:The story of Pheidippedes carrying the message is rather difficult as he was already dead from running the 120 mile round trip from Athens to Sparta to summon them to the battle. He came back hallucinating and before he died said he had seen the god Pan on his way back - so presumably his words were something like 'I saw Pan'.After the Athenians and Platians defeated the Persian infantry at Marathon, they realised the Persian cavalry was being rowed around to Athens to take it in the Athenian army's absence, with traitors to open the city gates to let them in. The 9,000 Athenian soldiers ran back the 26 miles over the hills to Athens and formed up in front of the city just in time to confront the disembarking Persian cavalry.Today, Marathon runners get it easy compared to the original 9,000 runners carrying weapons and armour and running in sandals.As for what they said as they got back to Athens, perhaps 'I'm stuffed' might be close.
