Pheidippides (Ancient Greek: Φειδιππίδης, Ancient Greek pronunciation:[pí.dɛːs], Modern Greek:[fi.ðiˈpi.ðis]lit.&#;'Son of Pheídippos') or Philippides (Φιλιππίδης) is the central figure in the story that inspired the marathon race. Pheidippides is said to have run 40 kilometres (25&#;mi) from Marathon to Athens to deliver news of the victory of the Battle of Marathon, and, according to Herodotus, to have run from Athens to Sparta. This latter feat also inspired two ultramarathon races, the kilometre (&#;mi) Spartathlon and kilometre (&#;mi) Authentic Pheidippides Run.
Name
[edit]The name Philippides is reported by Pausanias, Plutarch, and Lucian, writers who had read this name in their versions of Herodotus, while in most of Herodotus's manuscripts the form appears Pheidippides.[1]
Other than Herodotus's manuscripts, the form Pheidippides is only attested in Aristophanes's The Clouds ( BC). Many historians argue that Aristophanes willfully distorted the actual name so as not to use the name of th
