The history of The Authentic Marathon Swim
Skyllias and his daughter Hydna, were the very first “marathon swimmers”, according to the publicized works of global history. According to Herodotus, the story of Skyllias and Hydna explains that in 480 B.C. they were arrested by Persians and boarded onto their ships, as the Persians wanted to use the pair of proficient divers for an extensive exploration of underwater treasures from shipwrecks of that time and age. Subsequently, the historical swimmers realized that Persians planned on using them in an upcoming naval combat in Artemision, meaning that Skyllias and Hydna would have to face their Greek compatriots. The Ancient-Greek heroes jumped into the sea, sliced the ropes from the anchors of Persian ships and started swimming towards Artemision in order to inform the Greek Naval Forces. The historical achievements of Skyllias and Hydna have been recorded from Herodotus, “The Father of History”, who has praised them for their unique swimming ability and the importance of the information they offered to the Greeks, allowing the Naval Forces to prepare for their upcoming Battle of Salamis and their eventual triumph. In this manner, 2.500 ago, the first ever marathon swim was recorded in history.
