Barbero - The Great Battle: Marathon 490 BC It is the spring of 490 BC Middle East. The great empire of the Persians, founded by Cyrus the Great, dominates an immense territory that brings together all the most ancient peoples of humanity: Sumerians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Phoenicians, Hebrews and Egyptians. The Persian fleet sets sail from Asia Minor - a fleet that covers the entire sea. But the Greeks are not united. With a prodigious effort, the Athenian hoplites cover the 40 kilometers that separate them from the city in a few hours and arrive on the beach of Piraeus for the battle that will change history.
