The Giant of Marathon

A legendary warrior embarks on a perilous quest, rallying his troops to confront a formidable and merciless adversary in a battle that will decide the fate of ancient civilizations.

In ancient Greece, 490 BC, the Sacred Guard commander Philippides must defend Athens against the invading Persian army led by King Darius. As he prepares for battle, he is courted by a servant girl named Charis, who hopes to distract him from his duty. Meanwhile, Philippides' heart belongs to a young woman named Andromeda. When the Persians attack, Philippides and his troops hold out against overwhelming odds, waiting for the arrival of a Spartan relief force. In the end, the Greeks emerge victorious, thanks in part to Philippides' bravery and the unconventional tactics of the Sacred Guard.
