Herodotus and many Greeks perceived the Persians as weak due to their view of Persian governance and social structure, which emphasized despotism and a lack of civic engagement among the populace. Greeks valued their own democratic ideals and the active participation of citizens in governance, contrasting it with the Persian monarchy, where power was centralized in a single ruler. Additionally, the Greeks often highlighted the Persians' reliance on vast, diverse territories and satraps, which they believed made the empire less cohesive and more vulnerable to internal strife. This cultural bias reinforced the Greek belief in their own superiority and the perceived fragility of Persian power.

What caused the Persians to retreat in the opening conflicts with the Greeks at the Battle of Marathon?

The Persians were loading their cavalry on ships to go around and capture Athens in the absence of the Athenian army at Marathon. The Athenians say that the cavalry was not available, so they rand down from the hills and defeated the weak Persian infantry which was unprotected by its cavalry. The Athenians then woke up to where the cavalry was going and ran back to Athens to defend the city - the origin of today's Marathon run.
