THE BATTLE OF MARATHON Anno XD° ante Christum, Graecia ab exercitu Persarum graviter

oppugnabatur. Persae trans mare ad Graeciam navigaverant et multa

oppida occupaverant. Hostes ad locum, qui non multa milia passuum Athenis

aberat, iam iter fecerant. Quam ob rem cives, qui Athenas et alias urbes

propinquas habitabant, adventum hostium timebant.

Athenienses Spartam nuntium miserunt. Ille totum iter cucurrit ut ab

populo auxilium peteret, sed legem habebant, qua sine luna in caelo bellum

gerere non poterant. Eo autem tempore luna conspici non poterat.

Itaque milites Athenienses aciem suam soli instruxerunt et sagittis ac

telis gravibus hostes vicerunt. Eo die Athenienses spem victoriae magnae

videbant. Postea ob virtutem viri, qui Athenis Spartam cucurrerat, ludos

habebant. His ludis nomen proelii, quod in agro Marathonio pugnatum erat,

dederunt. Hodie etiam cursum Marathonium in ludis nostris habemus.

XD° = 490th Christus, –i M., Christ Graecia, –ae F., Greece Persae, –arum M. pl., the Persians (the people of Persia) propinquus, –a, –um neighbouring, nearby Athenienses, –ium M. pl., the Athenians (the people of Athens) Sparta, –ae F., Sparta (a city in south-west Greece) instruo, –ere, instruxi, instructum to draw up, form up Marathonius, –a, –um (of or in) Marathon (a village on the eastern coast of Greece) cursus, –us M., race
