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

Date: 490

## The fact

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. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [humanitarian-access](/drivers/humanitarian-access) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

The attached driver is humanitarian-access. The welfare reading used in this dossier is worsening. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.

## Significance

Worsening path from The Marathon logos stores a 490 landing, a fight, and a later run-myth neighbourhood as received war inquiry on -0490-09-01. A received battle logos is a humanitarian-harm path of medium weight. He is not the general. The welfare reading on this path is worsening.

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.

## What is established and what is not

Established: a sourced public record of The Marathon logos stores a 490 landing, a fight, and a later run-myth neighbourhood as received war inquiry under -0490-09-01 for Herodotus. Established: a sourced public record of The Marathon logos stores a 490 landing, a fight, and a later run-myth neighbourhood as received war inquiry under -0490-09-01.

If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Do not store a 1896 Olympic race as 490. Do not split Pheidippides into a second Fact as unique tape. Mixed effects of The Marathon logos stores a 490 landing, a fight, and a later run-myth neighbourhood as received war inquiry are separate paths.
