@crocgator44 There's no reason to believe that the Greek city-states would've survived. Thus, Western Civilization as we know it today would not exist. It might not be completely false to say that the Battle of Marathon is more important in American history than the Battle of Saratoga, because without the Battle of Marathon, there wouldn't be any colonies or European monarchies.
@migkillerphantom I would like to remind you that the 18 thousand combatants at max is just an assumption, you would need to actually be there to know what happened, and it would still be hard to estimate a likely amount of troops. But it is a pretty good assumption.
has anyone else noticed the unlikelyness of the greeks throws their shield arm up before locking them together? that shiel only weight around15-25 pounds throwing their arm up like that would make them weist energy
Alexander the Great was born after 134 years in Pella !!!!!(of Greece of course...) What a shame History channel !!!

@2ndsquad2 Yeah, but them throwing their shields up looks better than them resting their shields on their legs.

@Raymondhaffar1 Yes, of course, but it is a better assumption than 30 thousand.

@Victorian1858Gothic Oh, how nice. You have no answer and thus you try to cover your flight with insults? Pathetic, really. Go back to school, kid.
