Its damn interesting, I think. Before Marathon, Athens was a minor city-state of no real importance. This victory allowed for the rise of Athens as we remember it today.

The Spartans were interesting, but when I think of Ancient Greece I think of Athens.

I find hilarious how the presenter acted tough by jumping waist deep in the water (@ 4:27) while it was not even necessary and how he pretended to tough it out but his body language clearly says "eeew! Water! I hate being wet! And I think I broke a nail!"
