Historical: John Stuart Mill, a British philosopher and economist in the 1800s, claimed that the Battle of Marathon was a more important event in English history than the Battle of Hastings in 1066, when William the Conqueror from Normandy defeated Harold, the last Saxon Chieftain, and established the British monarchy, which still survives today. Consider the impact of the Battle of Marathon and two other major events in Greek history of your choice on the Greeks themselves and on subsequent generations down to us today. Was Mill right?
