Darius had already occupied territories from the Indus river to Asia Minor, and now he crossed the Aaegean Sea and attacked Greece. His large army came to a place called Marathon near Athens with the help of a fleet. For the first time in the history of Greece, all the states together fought against an enemy. The Greek armies were very fewer in number than is 490 BC. In the battle of Marathon, they fought so bravely that the Persian forces were pushed back.
