Herodotus suggests that this was the first time a Greek army ran into battle in this way; this was probably because it was the first time that a Greek army had faced an enemy composed primarily of missile troops.
Herodotos menduga bahwa ini adalah pertama kalinya pasukan Yunani berlari ke arah musuh dalam pertempuran dengan cara seperti ini; ini kemungkinan karena inilah pertama kalinya pasukan Yunani menghadapi musuh yang terdiri terutama atas pasukan misil.
