» The Legend of Pheidippides

When the Persians arrive to invade Greece near the town of Marathon, the army chose their fastest runner to carry the news to the people of Athens. The marathon race is a reminder of this soldier's amazing run.

Pheidippides travelled a long way to deliver his message. It would have been much easier to use email! Make a mind map of the different ways Pheidippides could have delivered the message if he were running today. Ask a family member if they can add any other form of communication to your mind map.
