Question

What advantage did the Greeks have at the battle of marathon

Answer 1

i think, The Greeks held an advantage at Marathon in the equipment of their infantry. An Athenian hoplite carried a heavy, 9-foot spear, wore a solid breastplate and carried an almost body-length shield. The Persian infantryman, in contrast, wore little more than robes and carried a shorter sword and a wicker or cane shield.

Answer 2

the greeks first advantage was that they invented and used phalanx so their hoplites fought, not as individuals but as a unit.
