The Marathon logos stores a 490 landing, a fight, and a later run-myth neighbourhood as received war inquiry

The Histories' Marathon logos narrates Datis' landing and an Athenian-Plataean fight in a conventional 490 BCE year. The instrument is that logos. A later footrace brand is not his act. Casualty figures in the Greek are claims. Herodotus's documented role is: He wrote the battle logos. Militiades commanded. The modern marathon race is reception, not his sport.

Context

Darius I ordered the expedition as the logos tells it. Sharing command with Datis and Artaphernes is required. The Ionian revolt is the preface-war, not this landing. Thermopylae is ten years later in the received chronology. The setting of The Marathon logos stores a 490 landing, a fight, and a later run-myth neighbourhood as received war inquiry is the public file around -0490-09-01. Driver humanitarian-access is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.

Why it matters

Shared responsibility is part of The Marathon logos stores a 490 landing, a fight, and a later run-myth neighbourhood as received war inquiry. Naming Herodotus does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from -0490-09-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
