Today in class we reviewed more for the test tomorrow. We watched a video. This video talked about: Darius, Hoplites, Phidepedeus, Themistocles, and many other things. It talked about how Phidipedeus ran 26 miles from Marathon to Athens and in one version dies, and in the other doesn't die. Another version of this story is that he ran 140 miles in 2 days from Athens to Sparata, in one version he dies and in the other he doesn't. Also it talks about how Themistocles was not an aristocrat, he was just a common person and because of democracy, he became a general. Lastly the video talked about triremes and how they were the most advanced weapon of the day.
