Marathon

Quote:Incidentally: building a modern "olympic" games structure on the site of the battle of Marathon is nothing but sacrilegous, I think.
It's not that bad, actually.

Here you see a map of the battle:

The Olympic rowing course runs more or less N-S near the "m" of "marshe". Google Earth is quite helpful (38 07' 04" N 53 58'42" E shows the tomb of the Athenians).
