To the Hellenist's eye, the "golden rectangle" was considered to be the most pleasing rectangular shape. It is the rectangle whose length and width are in the ratio equal to the limit of adjacent terms of the Fibonacci series. The number is roughly 1.618. Its reciprocal is roughly 0.618. It's the number that is 1 more than its reciprocal, and the solution to x2 - x - 1 = 0.

The battle of Marathon is rather falsely touted in those terms. In fact it was a Persian punitive expedition against Athens for interfering in Greek city revolutions in Asia Minor (within the Persian Empire). Their loss at Marathon persuaded the Persians to return, though this was defeated by the southern Greek cities ten years later. It was not Persian despotism, it was about the Persians trying to maintain peace within their empire without having outsiders stoking up trouble. After a long intermittent war, Persia gave up and left the Greek cities to go back to their usual fighting each other.

What was the problem with slaves in ancient Greece?
Slavery was common practice throughout ancient Greek history, as in other societies of the time. It is estimated that the majority of Atheniancitizens owned at least one slave; most ancient writers considered slavery not only natural but necessary. This paradigm was notably questioned in Socratic dialogues; the Stoics produced the first recorded condemnation of slavery.[2]
Modern historiographical practice distinguishes chattel (personal possession) slavery from land-bonded groups such as the penestae ofThessaly or the Spartan helots, who were more like medieval serfs (an enhancement to real estate). The chattel slave is an individual deprived of liberty and forced to submit to an owner who may buy, sell, or lease them like any other chattel.
The academic study of slavery in ancient Greece is beset by significant methodological problems. Documentation is disjointed and very fragmented, focusing primarily on Athens. No treatises are specifically devoted to the subject - jurisprudence was interested in slavery only inasmuch as it provided a source of revenue. Comedies and tragedies represented stereotypes, while iconography made no substantial differentiation between slaves and craftsmen
Was it possible for slaves or metics in ancient Greece to improve their status in society?
Only for slaves was it possible to improve their status in society. Occasionally, a master would pay to set a skilled slave up in business. He would receive a share of the profits in return. Some of these wage earning slaves were able to save up and buy their freedom. However, freed slaves could never become citizens or metics.
