hi,
True
Miltiades and his army defeated the Persians at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC, before this no Greek army had ever defeated the Persians in battle, The Persians were considered as powerful military power and their defeat in the battle of Marathon was considered as a significant achievement for the Greeks.
