Herodotus and the Battle of Marathon

There's not enough information about how this battle went for you to discern anything. Herodotus doesn't mention anything about the archery either. Historians suggest it's a little strange that these citizen hoplites from athens were able to achieve a double one, especially planning to and then carrying it out. We're told that the battle of marathon ends when the persians get on their ships and leave - but where do they go? They don't go home, like tail between their legs, straggling, hoping that they're not chased down by greeks. The Persians take another stab at getting into the city, hec the army's not there.
