    thank you, my friend. I don't want to upset you, but the truth is always bitter !!...The Persian had a powerful cavalry The peoples of the world are not stupid !!... Fidi ran the distance of 42 K.m of the marathon to Athens !!... He didn't want to take a party, he died !!... Of course, he lost his life in vain because the Persian solders did not attack Athens after the victory !!... And Xerxes returned home after setting fire to Athens !!... Of course, Leonidas threw the 2 messengers into the well and killed them and Athens burned in the anger of Xerxes. thank you.
