When the Persian force confronted the Athenian-Plataean force at Marathon, it sent its cavalry by sea to capture undefended Athens. After defeating the Persian infantry at Marathon, the Athenians realised what was happening and ran back the 26 miles to the city, just in time to confront the disembarking Persian cavalry, which, frustrated, went home.
