About this listen

Join host Jack Maddox as he unravels 2,500 years of myth-making around the Battle of Marathon. Did this 490 BC clash actually save Western civilization, or did we construct that narrative backward? Examining sources from Herodotus to the 1896 Olympics, this episode reveals how a goat-god-thanking victory became civilization's founding legend—and why the real story matters more.
