The Athenians defeated Darius and his Persian army at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE due to a combination of factors, including superior tactics, the element of surprise, and the determination of the Athenian soldiers. The Athenian hoplites, heavily armored infantry, employed a phalanx formation that proved effective against the less organized Persian forces. Additionally, they were motivated by the defense of their homeland and the desire for freedom from Persian rule, which spurred them to fight with exceptional bravery. The victory at Marathon ultimately boosted Athenian morale and solidified their commitment to resisting Persian expansion.
The Greeks were able to sink many Persian warships due to their superior naval tactics and the advantages of their trireme ships, which were faster and more maneuverable. The decisive Battle of Salamis showcased the Greek fleet's ability to outsmart the larger Persian navy by using narrow straits to limit the effectiveness of the Persian numbers. Additionally, the unity among the Greek city-states and their strategic use of local knowledge contributed to their success in naval engagements.
Persian King Darius sought revenge against the Athenians primarily due to their support for the Ionian Revolt, where Greek city-states in Asia Minor rebelled against Persian rule. The Athenians sent military assistance to the Ionian cities, which Darius viewed as a direct challenge to his authority. Additionally, Darius aimed to expand Persian influence and viewed punishing Athens as a way to deter other Greek city-states from opposing him. This desire for retribution ultimately led to the Persian Wars, including the famous Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE.
The royal road
The idea that a battle made Europe possible is plain stupid. Europe is a continent. It had and has many peoples in it. The Persian War was a minor and temporary influence in local terms - the eastern end of the Mediterranean. Durant making grandiose claims about the future of the continent hanging on a battle in Greece is plain stupid. Had the Persians taken over mainland Greece, the Greek cities would have in due course freed themselves. Persia itself was vulnerable as Alexander provd a century later.
