According to the greek tragedist Aeschylus, who fought at Marathon:<br>
"On, sons of the Hellenes! Fight for the freedom of your country! Fight for the freedom of your children and of your wives, for the gods of your fathers and for the sepulchers of your ancestors! All are now staked upon the strife!"<br>
BTW/ Miltiade's helmet which he wore at Marathon can still be admired at the museum at Olympia, bearing the inscription: "Miltiades dedicated this to Zeus". <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p200.ezboard.com/bromanarmytalk.showUserPublicProfile?gid=antoninuslucretius@romanarmytalk>Antoninus Lucretius</A> <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://lucretius.homestead.com/files/Cesar_triste.jpg" BORDER=0> at: 2/24/05 3:06 pm<br></i>
