The origin of marathon
In 490 BC, the Greeks defeated the Persians and won the marathon. Ferdinand Bodes, a Greek soldier, ran back to Athens from a marathon and fell to the ground dead after declaring victory.
Marathon is a long-distance race, the distance is 42. 195 km (some say it is 42. 193 km, but all races use 42. 195 km). The origin of this game began with a battle in September 490 BC 12.
The battle was fought by Persians and Athenians at the seaside of Marathon not far from Athens. It was called Persian War in history, and the Athenians finally won the victory against aggression. In order to let the people in his hometown know the good news of victory as soon as possible, Commander Mi Leide sent a soldier named Fidi Pitts back to tell the news.
