Herodotus and the First Persian War
This video is about Athens, Sparta, the Ionian revolt and the Battle of Marathon. Enjoy!
More or less the entirety of this videos narrative is ripped direcetly from Herodotus' Histories books five, six and partially seven. However, for certain parts of the video I used some other ancient writers to add detail.
