45 FIRST PERSIAN WAR
46 BATTLE OF MARATHON The Athenians had won at Marathon but they certainly had not destroyed the Persian army. They had made plans before the battle that if they won, they would get word back to Athens as soon as possible because they knew that the Persian fleet was sure to sail around Attica and attempt to take the city while it was undefended. The citizens were to man the walls and make it appear that Athens was strongly defended.
47 MARATHON PART 1
48 MARATHON PART 2
49 MARATHON Phaedippas Miltiades sent a young soldier (probably Phaedippas) to take word back to Athens. He ran the entire distance, kms, shouted "We have won!" and fell dead of exhaustion. In memory of this event the Marathon Run was included among the contests since the first contemporary Olympic Games.

66 PERSIAN RELIGION Zoroaster, a Persian thinker, helped to unite the religious beliefs by teaching that a single, wise god ruled the world. On Judgment Day, all individuals would be judged for their actions. Those who had done good would enter paradise. Evil-doers would be condemned to eternal suffering. Christianity and Islam stressed similar ideas.
67 ZOROASTRIANISM Good went to Heaven - Bad went to Hell Monotheism Priests of Zarathustra known as Magi Oral teachings until Sasanid period composed Gathas
68 FORTUNES OF ZOROASTRIANISM Under Alexander: Massacre of Magi, burning Zoroastrian temples Weak Parthian support Major revival under Sasanids, persecution of non-zoroastrians Discrimination under Islam 68
