490 BC

September 12 - After the Battle of Marathon, where the Greeks defeated the invading Persians, Pheidippides, who had already run 140 miles over 2 days and nights, ran 26 miles from Marathon to Athens to carry the news of the victory. His last words before he collapsed and died, "Rejoice, we are victorious."
