    Constitution of the AtheniansClassical · Greek

    Athenian victory referenced as a chronological marker preceding the first use of ostracism.

    In the twelfth year after this, having won the battle at Marathon, in the archonship of Phaenippus, after letting two years pass after the victory, the people being now confident, they used for the first time the law concerning ostracism, which had been enacted out of suspicion of those in positions of power, because Pisistratus, being a popular leader and general, had become tyrant.

    To PhilipClassical · Greek

    The Athenian victory over Persia celebrated as a source of praise for Athens.

    no, all these things have been the source of many complaints against her, while because of the battle of Marathon, the naval battle at Salamis, and most of all because her citizens abandoned their own homes to insure the deliverance of Hellas, she enjoys the encomiums of all mankind.
