Explanation:

The battle between Athens and Iran was fought in the field of Marathon.

During Greece's first Persian invasion, the Battle of Marathon took place in 490 BC. It was fought between the citizens of Athens, with Plataea's support, and a Persian army led by Datis and Artaphernes.

In 490 B.C.E., the Persian fleet sailed down Greece's coast and landed about 40 miles north of Athens at Marathon Bay. Led by General Miltiades, the Athenian army moved to block the advance of the Persians and trapped them on the plains around the bay. The Greeks were attacked on the fifth day.
