Do Armenians have Persian ancestry?
Armenians and Persians, together with the other Iranian people, are of the Aryan race. I strongly believe that the amount of Armenians with Persian ancestry is very high because of the past (origins). Note: Armenians who have surnames that are also common among Persians, have Persian ancestry.

What affected the battle of Marathon?
The Athenians were waiting for the Spartans to arrive to help them, waiting in the hills where the Persian Cavalry could not get at them. Then they saw the Persian cavalry being embarked on ships, seized the opportunity to run down and defeat the inferior Persian infantry unprotected by its cavalry. The Persian cavalry meanwhile went on to try to capture Athens which was unprotected. After defeating the infantry the Athenians realised where the ships were going, and ranback the 26 miles over the hills to form up in front of the city as the Persian cavalry disembarked. Frustrated, the Persians went home. This run by the Athenians was the origin of today's Marathon run. Don't believe the story today about Pheidipides doing the run - he was already dead, dying of exhaustion from running to Sparta to summon them. The runners were the whole Athenian army, carrying weapons, armour shields and wearing sandals; they lived on a diet of mainly bread. Today's pampered marathon runners get it pretty easy.
Why was the battle of marathon important?
It was important to the Athenians in giving them confidence in their military ability and stoked their adventurous attitudes.It was important to the Greeks as it demonstrated that the Persian empire was not invincible, and led the southern Greek cities to combine to resist the full-scale Persian invasion ten years later.It provided an initial check to Persian dominance in Greece and demonstrated to the other Greek city-states that it was possible to resist the Persians. This encouraged them to league against the Persians ten years later when they attempted to subdue all of peninsular Greece.The battle turned back a Persian attempt to subdue Athens, but brought on a later Persian expedition to subdue all of peninsular Greece. The success at Marathon encouraged enough of the Greek cities to believe that they could resist Persia, which they successfully did ten years later.

Who made Athens a center of art?
I believe it is Perciles..Pericles. He persuaded Athenians to make an empire out of the anti-Persian league which it had been leading, and diverted the funds being collected for that purpose to glorify Athens put half its population on the public payroll.
Who was the man that ran from the Marathon plain to Athens?
Phidippides, I believe. But you should probably check wikipedia...RealityThere is a problem here - Pheidippides was dead by the time of the battle. He had run to Sparta to summon them to help Athens fight off the invading Persians. On his return after running nearly 200 miles, he died of exhaustion. Meanwhile the Athenians and Plataeans stayed in the hills around Marathon where the superior Persian cavalry could not get at them, waiting for the Spartans to arrive. On the tenth day, the Athenians saw the Persian cavalry being embarked on ships, and took the opportunity of running down and defeating the inferior Persian infantry on the plain, caught without their cavalry protection. After this battle, the Athenians realised where the Persian cavalry was being shipped to - around to Athens to disembark and gallop up through the gates opened by traitors. The whole Athenian army - all 18,000 - ran over the hills the 26 miles back to Athens and formed up in front of the city just as the Persian cavalry was disembarking. Frustrated, the Persians re-embarked and went home. It is this run by the 18,000 after whom the Marathon run of today commemorates, not the already dead Pheidippides as is commonly claimed by peddlers of a 'good story'. The real story is far more interesting and evocative of admiration. The reality of the 9,000's feat is enhanced by the fact that they ran in sandals carrying armour, shields and weapons, and their staple diet was bread. Rather different and more challenging compared to the conditions of today's pampered athletes. But with their city, property and families as the prize, they had a compelling incentive as well as unrivaled guts.
What effect did Persian invasion have on India?
After the first invasion of Persians, Indian kings felt the necessity of united strong empire to keep away these foreign invaders. The Persian easy invasion in India and Indian empires' defeat to defend their frontiers showed the political weakness of Indian empires. Permanent settlement of foreigners like Persians, Greeks and Turks, on Indian ground might be one of the main reasons for the easy invasions of foreigners. Persian invasion had a very strong impact on the Indian sculptors and architects. The engravings of animals and birds on Asoka's pillar definitely show the effect of Persian on Indian art. Since after the first Persian invasion, Indians and Persians began to trade very smoothly. Many scholars believe that Khraoshth script, written from right to left hand, was borrowed from Persian people. Indian and Persian scholars and philosophers exchanged their views. This interchange of Indo-Persian culture brought effective changes in the people outlook. Peoples from both sides became sympathetic for each other and became broad minded.
