| Herodotus based his account on conversations with Athenian veterans of the battle. We can be certain about the number of Athenian dead, since they were buried in a common grave mound and the name of each was inscribed on one of three small marble monuments placed at the site. The mound can still be visited; two of the monuments have disappeared, the third is now in the Athens Museum.
