Abstract

The evidence presented in this essay leads to the conclusion that the Greek charge at Marathon was not inspired by the danger of Persian arrows. In fact, the unexpected and ferocious Greek advance in the early morning not only put the barbarian cavalry to flight, but also eliminated the possibility of the Persians discharging their customary barrage of arrows before engagement.
