A runner named Pheidippides ran to neighboring Sparta, one hundred forty miles away, to ask for the Spartans aid. Afterwards he sped back to the battle, where he helped defeat the enemy. Then the weary runner did his duty yet once more, he ran from Marathon to Athens to deliver the miraculous news of the Greek victory. The legend of brave Pheidippides has inspired the running of marathons worldwide. 650 0 $a Marathon, Battle of, Greece, 490 B.C. $v Juvenile literature. 600 00 $a Pheidippides, $d fl. 490 B.C. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Marathon running $x History $v Juvenile literature. 650 1 $a Marathon, Battle of, Greece, 490 B.C. 600 01 $a Pheidippides, $d fl. 490 B.C. 650 1 $a Marathon running $x History. 655 0 $a Picture books for children $v Juvenile literature. 700 1 $a Minter, Daniel. 941 $a 2 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722014947.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202035351.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=18FF34A62B0C11DE82774608A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
