The Battle of Athens, which occurred from August 1-2, 1946, was a significant post-World War II conflict in Athens, Georgia, where local veterans and citizens revolted against a corrupt political machine. Frustrated by electoral fraud and intimidation during the local elections, they armed themselves and confronted the local authorities. The uprising culminated in an armed conflict, leading to the eventual intervention of the state police and the National Guard. Ultimately, the incident highlighted issues of voter rights and corruption, contributing to reforms in the local political system.

How did the people of Athens find out what happened at the battle of marathon?
The people of Athens learned about the outcome of the Battle of Marathon through the swift return of a messenger, Pheidippides. According to legend, he ran approximately 26 miles from the battlefield to Athens to announce the Greek victory over the Persians. Upon reaching the city, he reportedly exclaimed "Nike!" (Victory) before collapsing from exhaustion. This event is often commemorated as the origin of the modern marathon race.
When did the battle of marathon happen?
We don't seem to know. There was sufficient time for them to fight a 'long drawn out battle' (Herodotos), fight over the departing Persian ships, and then reform and run in full armour the 26 miles over the hills to Athens in time to form up in front of the city to meet the Persian fleet which had rowed around the peninsula to land the cavalry to attack Athens with the expectation that the pro-Persian party inside would open the gates for them. So it musta started pretty early. And try running the marathon loaded down with armour , shield and weapons, after already running a mile into battle in the first place and fighting for several hours. A tough lot. Today's marathon runners get it easy.
