This story recounts the life of Pheidippides, an ancient Greek soldier who inspired the modern-day marathon by supposedly running 280 miles in one day. Static double-page spreads and endpaper maps illustrate the scope of Pheidippides's accomplishment. An informative afterword distinguishes between fact and legend and gives specifics about the history of modern marathons. Bib.
