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.
