And so, in the modern Olympics that we've set up now, over the last 100 and something years, they said, hey, let's have an event that celebrates that run from Marathon to Athens, and that's where our modern marathon actually comes from. Now, the actual story, as best as I can figure out, and I encourage you to look up primary documents to figure this out for yourself, is it's mixing up a few stories. After the victory at Marathon, the Athenian army did quickly mobilize and go back to Athens and cover that distance in order to defend Athens, because remember, it looks like the Persian fleet were coming around this peninsula right over here to get to Athens. The story of that runner is, there was a runner named Philippides who was sent from Athens to Sparta to convey a message, and that's actually a much further distance. In a lot of ways, it's much more impressive, but those two stories were mixed up together into the story of Marathon, which is where we get our modern-day distance of the marathon. Hey, let's all run roughly the distance from Marathon to Athens. In the next video, we'll see that the Persians are not done.
