Comment: An early bronze age cemetary near the Marathon museum. Some people think this site and a few others were the inspiration for the 'tholoi' tombs at Mycenae and others (see Treasury of Atreus, Argolid trip). This cemetary was built up as a large mound of earth like the tholoi and also contained some graves with shared features, like this long entranceway.

BrauMar 013 * This is the 'new' way of showing sites. Everything is covered and protected from the elements and visitors can look down on on the site from walkways without disturbing anything. * 1600 x 1200 * (437KB)

BrauMar 014 * We tried to go out and visit a tholos near the museum but it was locked (the entrance is on the left). There was this cool tree though * 1600 x 1200 * (796KB)

BrauMar 015 * Around Marathon now. This plain was where the Athenians defeated the Persians in a great land battle ~490 BC. They were significantly outnumbered but ended up victorious due to heavier armor, longer spears, and no doubt, a greater will to win. * 1600 x 1200 * (463KB)

BrauMar 016 * Marathon was full of almost superhuman feats, some even outside of battle. Phidippedes, a long distance runner, ran to Sparta in a single day to ask for help. He then ran back to Marathon and ran the 26 miles to Athens, giving us our modern Marathon distance. One professor of ours highly doubted the accuracy of the text (he thinks it was written later) but I prefer to disbelieve him rather than crush all hope. The Sparta run was doubted until a 'Spartathon' was completed a few years ago. It is around 125 miles. A world-reknowned Greek runner completed it in just under 27 hours. This gives an average of just over 13 minutes a mile, up and over a mountain range. * 1600 x 1200 * (348KB)

BrauMar 017 * Oops, out of order. I'll have to go back and fix that. These are from a temple to Egyptian (!) gods built near Marathon in Roman times. * 1200 x 1600 * (313KB)
