Battle of Salamis and Miltiades

Miltiades biggest parting was to the battle at Marathon which was considered a significant impact on the Persian wars. It was in the battle at Marathon where he showed both witt and skill against the Persian soldiery. He was considered semiprecious to the athenians because of his former close relations with the Persian legions, which meant he knew there evasive actional maneuver and there bureaus to which they fought in battle. The Athenians do Miltiades 10th Commander to which from each one day starting from commander one every commander would be given a chance to be in charge of the army.It was Miltiades who aphorism the fact that the Persian cavalary wasnt their as an advantage and to which could result in success if the Athenian army attacked early. So Miltiades convinced Calimuchus the Polemarh to confront the Persian army and give him command. Miltiades battle tactics were both thoughtful and strategic as he used what he had learnt about the Persians against them with both ingenious and thoughful ideas.He made use of the terrain by placing his army on the top of the hill so that they had the higher ground and the best spot for when they made there way down hill so they were less tired and exhausted. It was said to be Miltiades who convinced the generals not to use their customary tactics of which hoplites (soldiers of greek cities) ordinarily marched in an evenly distributed phanlanx of shields and spears. Miltiades was the one who had this great idea of attacking epoch the cavalary was not around.He knew that the Persians had there flanks set out that the strongest soldiers where in the middle of th e flank and the weakest on the outer flanks, so Miltiades devised this cunning send off to swap it around for his army. He made the strongest soldiers as the outer flanks and the weakest in the middle, so when it came to the fight the strongest soldiers could encirle the persian flanks and cause them distress and penick.His other contribution in the battle at Marathon tactics was the fact that he knew the Persians used arrow man. So miltiades had to think of a way to fox it as if the Persian arrowman werent much help in inilation at all. This is the tactic i believe that sets him apart from every other commander he made his army run into battle. as soon as miltiades army was in range of arrows he had them sprint and avoid the arrows, which this plan left(a) the Persians dumbfounded. moreover as i write how genius he was i cope that Munro points out that it was Miltiades who understood the Persian way of doing thins, it was Miltiades who understood his strengths and weaknesses, and Miltiades who be to be the master of timing, waiting for just the right time to act. Miltiades was seen as the one to seize the best position and knew just when to take the offensive. But I see another person who was of even larger immenseness to the contribution of the Persian wars and his name is Themistocles.
