Our research shows that you were a soldier in the Greek army which fought the Persians at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC. After the battle you ran with your friend Phillippedes to Athens, bringing news of the Greeks’ victory. On arriving in Athens Phillippedes called out: “Rejoice, we are victorious!” before he collapsed and died in the arms of his fellow citizens.We are delighted that after such a long period of silence you are now prepared to speak about this legendary event so as to help historians clear up the many unanswered questions to which Phillippedes is not longer in a position to respond." |
