Who ran to inform the Athenians that the Persians were coming?
The answer may be unknown. Runners were a standard means of communication at that time. Of course, Phiddipides is the most famous runner because he died after delivering the message that Athens had defeated Persia at Marathon. Perhaps the runner who informed Athens of the Persian approach was him, or perhaps another.Addition:Pheidippides was sent to Sparta to summon them to help repel the Persians. He came back hallucinating and died after the round trip of 120 miles, so was not available to carry any further messages.The Athenians knew all about the Persians coming, particularly after the Persians invested the city of Eretria over on Euboia island a couple of weeks earlier before turning their attention to Athens.The message of the defeat of the Persians at Marathon was carried by the whole Athenian army. When they saw the Persian cavalry embark and head off around the Sunion peninsula, they correctly guessed it was headed for Athens, and that traitors were going to open the city gates for them. So, carrying their weapons and armour, they all ran back over the hills the 26 miles, and formed up in front of the city just as the Persian cavalry disembarked and got ready to gallop up to the city gates.So the messenger was 9,000 Athenian hoplites, led by their general Miltiades. This was the first Marathon run - today's athletes get it pretty easy, don't they?
