Apart from being the word for an endurance performance of any kind, Marathon is also a village close to Athens.
When, in 490 BCE, the Persians attacked the Greek mainland from their base of Euboea, they could not have thought that many centuries later, hundreds of thousands of runners each year would compete in a long-distance event called the marathon. Neither did they expect that their attack would be countered by the Greeks, whom they outnumbered threefold (although the Greeks for a long time have exaggerated these figures and claimed that the Persians had outnumbered them tenfold).
