Why were the Greeks able to defeat the Persiana on the plain of Marathon?
It was not 'the Greeks', it was the Athenian army with its ally Plataia. They attacked the inferior Persian infantry while their supporting superior cavalry was being loaded onto ships to attack Athens from the sea, with traitors to open the city gates to let them in. After defeating the Persian infantry, the Athenians ran the 26 miles back to Athens, arriving in front of the city as the Persian cavalry was being disembarked. Frustrated, the Persian expedition went home.
