Before they left the city, the Athenian generals sent off a message to Sparta. The messenger was an Athenian named Pheidippides, a professional long-distance runner. According to the account he gave the Athenians on his return, Philippides met the god Pan. Pan, he said, called him by name and told him to ask the Athenians why they paid him no attention, in spite of his friendliness towards them. But before he run to Athens bearing the message of victory the Runner went to Sparta, a distance of 220km from Athens to ask for help.
