What was the name of the battle where the Greeks defeated the Persians and then sent Pheidippides to Athens?
The Battle of Marathon. However Pheidippides was already dead at the time. He had been sent to Sparta to summon them to Marathon, a round trip of 120 miles. He died as a result of that run, and so was not available to go to Athens after the battle.
After the battle, the Athenians realised there was an attack by sea on the city, and their army of 9,000 all ran back the 26 miles, getting there just in time to save the city.
Sorry, no Pheidippides, but a whole army did the run which formed the basis of today's marathon run.
