Persian Era
What were the factors that made it possible for the outnumbered Greeks to defeat Persia?

defeat....the most powerful empire of the era, the.... Persians? for AP World History
Talking about the first time they beat them. :)

The Battle of Marathon? The Greeks had the advantage of terrain and their hoplites and phalanxes were just better than the standard Persian infantry. Moreover, Marathon is near to Athens and the Persians were at the end of a very long supply line. Numbers does not win a war :)
