Detailed explanation-1: -Miltiades the Younger, (born c. 554 bc, Athens [Greece]-died probably 489 bc, Athens), Athenian general who led Athenian forces to victory over the Persians at the Battle of Marathon in 490.
Detailed explanation-2: -Miltiades weakened the center of his outnumbered force to strengthen its wings, causing confusion among the invading Persians. His strategy was victorious over the Persians’ strength, and the victory of “the Marathon men” captured the collective imagination of the Greeks.
Detailed explanation-3: -This army met an army of about 11, 000 Greeks at the bay of Marathon. The battle began with an initial stalemate that lasted for five days, after which the Greeks attacked. Due to the tactical superiority of the Greek hoplite soldiers, who fought in the phalanx formation, the Athenians triumphed over the Persians.
