During the Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE, the Athenian troops were strategically positioned on the plains of Marathon, which is about 26 miles northeast of Athens. They initially concealed their forces behind the hills surrounding the plain to surprise the invading Persian army. This tactical positioning allowed the Athenians to launch a sudden and decisive attack, ultimately leading to a significant victory against a larger Persian force.
