The Histories
An Athenian professional long-distance runner sent to Sparta to request aid against the Persians, who reports an encounter with the god Pan on the way.
While still in the city, the generals first sent to Sparta the herald Philippides, an Athenian and a long-distance runner who made that his calling.
The Athenians believed that these things were true, and when they became prosperous they established a sacred precinct of Pan beneath the Acropolis.
This Philippides was in Sparta on the day after leaving the city of Athens, that time when he was sent by the generals and said that Pan had appeared to him.
