Explanation:

Artafern, who led the Persian army, led part of the army directly to Athens. The Athenians realized that the Persian army was grouped into two groups. The first attack was successful thanks to the Athenian hoplites, and the Greeks, even if numerically inferior thanks to the hoplites, defeated the Persian army. The Greek attacks "in waves" were intensified so that the Persians did not have a quality response and left the battlefield by ships. After that battle, the Athenians also decided to attack the other half of the Persian army, marching towards the city. With a sudden and swift attack, they defeated the Persians. After the battle of the Marathon Field, Persia withdrew its troops from Greece.
