The Athenians defeated Darius and his Persian army at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE due to a combination of factors, including superior tactics, the element of surprise, and the determination of the Athenian soldiers. The Athenian hoplites, heavily armored infantry, employed a phalanx formation that proved effective against the less organized Persian forces. Additionally, they were motivated by the defense of their homeland and the desire for freedom from Persian rule, which spurred them to fight with exceptional bravery. The victory at Marathon ultimately boosted Athenian morale and solidified their commitment to resisting Persian expansion.
