WI the Achaemanids won the battle of Marathon?

Which of course raises the point that even at the most unrealistic there's no way in Hell the Achaemenids would disrupt the Roman Republic, which was already Hellenized at that point.....and which would be a very ironic dark-horse candidate to spread the memory of Greek liberty.....

In around 480 BC, the Achaemenids ruling Greece could actually disrupt the Roman Republic (that was no way democratic at the time). But probably they would not think of it.
