Athens had 10 generals (strategoi) - one for each of the ten tribes which contributed to the Athenian army. The senior one was the Polemarch who was the magistrate nominally in command. The generals were alloted tasks and given resources to carry them out. The story at Marathon was that they took it in turns to command on each day, and it was Miltiades' turn on day 10 when the Persians split their cavalry off and gave the opportunity to defeat their infantry.
