Remembering The Glory of Marathon

17/12/2011

A visit in Marathon , it was about time! Honestly, dont know what really to write about this place and its importance. From where to start and where to end about the history of Marathon? What Europe would be without Marathon? Its this place that the Hellenic steel crushed the gold of Asia. And i`m pretty sure, its there in the plains of Marathon that Persians for the first time in their history had this thought: "This time we messed with the wrong nation, we are doomed". Anyway , to have the full details check this link:

A small photo report follows from the trip , more of a pilgrimage to Marathon, in a cloudy Saturday morning. Starting from its lake and ending in the Tumulus and museums of the battlefield.
