Marshes of Marathon (1 Viewer)

[Hector of Troy]

The Persians, now routed on the left and right, fled back to their ships, but to reach them they had to cross a wide marshy area. In the confused retreat the Greek wings closed into the center and attacked both the Persian center and pursued the fleeing Persian flanks, inflicting heavy casualties. Took a few sentences from Wikipedia depicting the battle. Put together a little display of the marshy area near the beach where the Athenians are pursuing the Persians.Hope Andy comes out in the future with a few more Persians to add to this line.

I am reading Christian Cameron's "The Long War" series about Arimnestos of Plataea who fought at Marathon. Over the weekend I read about the battle itself.

I really enjoyed it and Cameron does a pretty good job of staying true to the history.
