    The Battle of Marathon
    It was an exciting day for the Athenians. Earlier the Persians planned to take over Greece but the Athenian army protected Greece from the Persian Blob. Pheidippides had run all the way to Sparta to ask for their help, the Spartans couldnt but they sent Pan back with Pheidippides. His pan flute made the Persians panic and their ships went to Marathon. That gave the Athenians a chance to form a plan. The Athenians would march to Marathon and fight the Persians. Then they heard that when the Athenians were fighting the Persians some Persians would sail to Athens. That way there would be no one there and the Persians could take over Athens easily. The Athenian army had to win the fight and fast. At Marathon the Athenians formed a battle position called the Double-Pincer. The weak Greeks were in the front fighting the Persians. The Persians were able to push back the weak Greeks a little bit. But then the two sides of strong Greeks swung in around the sides and the Persians were surrounded. Using that battle strategy the Athenians killed over 6,000 Persians but lost 192 of its own men. The Athenians had won. They knew that the Persians would be at Athens soon. So they marched to Athens ready for battle. When the other Persians arrived they were shocked to see the Athenian army waiting for them. So they turned around and went home. Darius was not happy but all of Greece was. The Blob was stopped with a small army, the Athenian army. Pheippides ran to Athens and declared victory. He yelled Nike! then died of exhaustion.

    This is the battle position Double Pincer that the Athenians formed in order to beat the Persians. They fought head on and then each side came in so the Persians were surrounded. They had Athenians to their right, left, and front, and behind them was a sea.
