Marathon2500 Anniversary Celebration

The Reading Odyssey ran a yearlong program commemorating the 2,500-year anniversary of the Battle of Marathon. With 9 lectures from leading scholars, multiple sections of Herodotus reading groups and a dedicated website, The Reading Odyssey created an online library of lectures aimed at understanding the significance of Marathon from multiple perspectives.
