If you’ve seen the film “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”, you likely know from the catchphrase of Toula's father that "everything comes from Greece." This is true for the marathon, which refers to the name of a town in southern Greece with the same name: Marathon. The modern day marathon was created to remember the historic run of Pheidippides, a soldier from Athens who ran from the battlefield in the town of Marathon to the Athenian capital (about 42 kilometers) to warn the Athenians that the Persians would attack Athens by sea. The runner supposedly dropped down dead at the end. It's likely a myth, given that the first account of Pheidippides came several centuries after his death (and in some editions he goes by another name).
