2500 Years of Marathon Tradition
The Battle of Marathon: 490 BC to 2010 AD



2010-2011 marks 2,500 years since the Battle of Marathon (Greece) in 490 BC.  This one minute video is a Real-Enactment™ of the famous battle between Athens and the Persian Empire, the famous 26 mile run by Pheidippides from Marathon to Athens, and the meaning of the Athenian victory...namely, the saving of Western Civilization.

This is a short video clip of a larger historical video called Greece: Spirits of the Ancients® which CelebrateGreece.com is producing.   Tax-Deductible Donations are appreciated to help finish the documentary.
