The exact number of Persian soldiers who died in the Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE is uncertain, but estimates suggest that around 6,000 to 7,000 Persian troops were killed during the conflict. The battle was a significant defeat for Persia, marking a pivotal moment in the Greco-Persian Wars. The smaller Athenian force, with approximately 10,000 soldiers, suffered around 192 fatalities.

None. It was a naval battle.
Persia had a king, not an emperor. The Persian king Darius I was at home in Persia when the battle of Marathon took place, so he was not killed at Marathon. Darius the Great died of natural causes 14 years after Marathon.
After the Battle of Marathon defeated the Persian infantry, the Athenian army ran home 26 miles over the hills back to their city to protect it from a Persian amphibious attack launched after the battle. The marathon runs today commemorate that run by 9,000 Athenian armored warriors and their 9,000 light infantry.

In 490BC, the Persian army was invading Greece. The Athenian army defeated the Persian army at the plains of Marathon, and the messenger Pheiddipides ran into Athens to announce the Athenian victory - and then died. The distance from Marathon to Athens was 26 miles, 385 yards, and the foot race called a "marathon" is run to commemorate the messenger and the battle.
