You are an officer in the anthenian army. the persains have just landed at the marathon to invade greece. write a letter to a friend explaining why the athenian army did not go out to fight the persains when they arrived at the marathon

Dear Tom,
I was recently in the Athenian army and, it was shattering for a mind. When the Persian's first got to the shore of Athens to fight, they started attacking us right away. We were defending ourselves so much that, we couldn't attack! We sent somebody to race to Sparta for help but, they came too late. Good thing I survived!

your friend,
Alex
