What was this person’s name?

Funny question! The stories can’t seem to agree. Pheidippides is the most common one, but there are at least a few other names claimed in Classical stories as the REAL name of the runner.

I think he walked in, said the message, and died right there just like in a movie.

How did they know the message was done? Did he say over before dying?
