Marathon Running Museum - FULL VIDEO TOUR (Marathon, Greece)
So we decided to take a trip to visit Marathon on our last day in Greece. Surprisingly, there isn't a great deal to do besides visiting the Marathon Running Museum and the Battle of Marathon Athenian Burial Tomb. They also have the classic marathon course set up with mile markers all the way into Athens, so that was a nice hidden surprise!
We decided to take a look at both attractions while visiting Marathon and also help support the museum! They had some really interesting stuff in here. The museum is organized by year, with the newest year being at the start of the museum. It must be a pain in the ass to shift every exhibit along each year LOL!

The permanent exhibition of the Olympic Marathon presents for the first time to the Greek public the history of the Olympic Marathon from 1896 to 2000.
Over than 3,100 exhibits record the history of the Marathon race from 1896 to today. This constitutes a unique historic sports collection which could not be found anywhere else other than at the birthplace of the Marathon road race.
The exhibition is divided into two major sections. In the first building, the history of the Olympic Marathon Race is presented through the collection of rare objects. In the second, the global movement of the Marathon race is recorded in individual thematic sections dedicated to the Marathon races held in every corner of the planet, to Olympic champions, to the presence of women in Marathon races, as well as to the equipment of the Marathon athletes.
Among the precious exhibits are the medal of the first winner of the Olympic Marathon road race Spyros Louis, a copy of the cup that he was awarded at the Panathenaic Stadium in 1896 and some of his personal belongings.
Marathon (Demotic Greek: Μαραθώνας, Marathónas; Attic/Katharevousa: Μαραθών, Marathṓn) is a town in Greece, the site of the battle of Marathon in 490 BC, in which the heavily outnumbered Athenian army defeated the Persians. The tumulus or burial mound (Greek Τύμβος, tymbos, tomb) of the 192 Athenian dead, also called the Soros, which was erected near the battlefield, remains a feature of the coastal plain. The Tymbos is now marked by a marble memorial stele and surrounded by a small park.

Battle of Marathon Athenian Burial Tomb - VIDEO TOUR (Marathon, Greece)
So we decided to take a trip to visit Marathon on our last day in Greece. Surprisingly, there isn't a great deal to do besides visiting the Marathon Running Museum and the Battle of Marathon Athenian Burial Tomb. They also have the classic marathon course set up with mile markers all the way into Athens, so that was a nice hidden surprise!
The Battle of Marathon Athenian Burial Tomb is basically a grassy knoll in the middle of a small field. You can drive all the way around it (Kinda like a giant round-about). There is an iron fence with some trees in the way to prevent you from seeing the grassy hill-shaped tomb. We couldn't justify the entry fee, so we took a video from the surrounding area and met a cute dog at the entrance!
The Battle of Marathon (Greek: Μάχη τοῦ Μαραθῶνος, Machē tou Marathōnos) took place in 490 BC, during the first Persian invasion of Greece. It was fought between the citizens of Athens, aided by Plataea, and a Persian force commanded by Datis and Artaphernes. The battle was the culmination of the first attempt by Persia, under King Darius I, to subjugate Greece. The Greek army decisively defeated the more numerous Persians, marking a turning point in the Greco-Persian Wars.
The first Persian invasion was a response to Greek involvement in the Ionian Revolt, when Athens and Eretria had sent a force to support the cities of Ionia in their attempt to overthrow Persian rule. The Athenians and Eretrians had succeeded in capturing and burning Sardis, but they were then forced to retreat with heavy losses. In response to this raid, Darius swore to burn down Athens and Eretria. According to Herodotus, Darius asked for his bow, he placed an arrow upon the string and he discharged it upwards towards heaven, and as he shot into the air he said: Zeus, grant me to take vengeance upon the Athenians!. Also he charged one of his servants, to say Master, remember the Athenians. three times before dinner each day.
At the time of the battle, Sparta and Athens were the two largest city states. Once the Ionian revolt was finally crushed by the Persian victory at the Battle of Lade in 494 BC, Darius began plans to subjugate Greece. In 490 BC, he sent a naval task force under Datis and Artaphernes across the Aegean, to subjugate the Cyclades, and then to make punitive attacks on Athens and Eretria. Reaching Euboea in mid-summer after a successful campaign in the Aegean, the Persians proceeded to besiege and capture Eretria. The Persian force then sailed for Attica, landing in the bay near the town of Marathon. The Athenians, joined by a small force from Plataea, marched to Marathon, and succeeded in blocking the two exits from the plain of Marathon. The Athenians also sent a message asking for support to the Spartans. When the messenger arrived in Sparta, the Spartans were involved in a religious festival and gave this as a reason for not coming to aid of the Athenians.
The Athenians and their allies chose a location for the battle, with marshes and mountainous terrain, that prevented the Persian cavalry from joining the main Persian army. Miltiades, the Athenian general, ordered a general attack against the Persians. He reinforced his flanks, luring the Persians' best fighters into his center. The inward wheeling flanks enveloped the Persians, routing them. The Persian army broke in panic towards their ships, and large numbers were slaughtered. The defeat at Marathon marked the end of the first Persian invasion of Greece, and the Persian force retreated to Asia. Darius then began raising a huge new army with which he meant to completely subjugate Greece; however, in 486 BC, his Egyptian subjects revolted, indefinitely postponing any Greek expedition. After Darius died, his son Xerxes I restarted the preparations for a second invasion of Greece, which finally began in 480 BC.
The Battle of Marathon was a watershed in the Greco-Persian wars, showing the Greeks that the Persians could be beaten; the eventual Greek triumph in these wars can be seen to begin at Marathon. The battle also showed the Greeks that they were able to win battles without the Spartans, as they had heavily relied on Sparta previously. This win was largely due to the Athenians, and Marathon raised Greek esteem of them. Since the following two hundred years saw the rise of the Classical Greek civilization, which has been enduringly influential in western society, the Battle of Marathon is often seen as a pivotal moment in Mediterranean and European history.

The Marathon Boy, 340-330 BC - Underwater discoveries
The Marathon Boy or Ephebe of Marathon is a Greek bronze sculpture found in the Aegean Sea in the bay of Marathon in 1925.
The sculpture is conserved in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens where it is dated to around 340–330 BC.The Museum suggests that the subject is the winner of an athletic competition. With its soft musculature and exaggerated contrapposto, its style is associated with the school of Praxiteles. The upraised arm and the distribution of weight indicate that in his original context, this ephebe was leaning against a vertical support, such as a column.
Before the advent of scuba diving, its chance recovery suggested the possibility that artistic as well as archaeological treasures had been preserved from human destruction in underwater sites. Other well-known underwater bronze finds have been retrieved, generally from shipwreck sites, in the Aegean and Mediterranean: the Antikythera mechanism, the Antikythera Ephebe and the portrait head of a Stoic discovered by sponge-divers in 1900, the Mahdia shipwreck off the coast of Tunisia, 1907; the standing Poseidon of Cape Artemision found off Cape Artemision in northern Euboea, 1926; the horse and Rider found off Cape Artemision, 1928 and 1937; the Getty Victorious Youth dredged up off the coast of Fano, Italy; the Riace bronzes, found in 1972; the Dancing Satyr of Mazara del Vallo, in the Sicily Channel, 2003; and the Apoxyomenos recovered from the sea off the Croatian island of Lošinj in 1999.
