Giannis, thanks for the translation support.
Totally different subject, and one that deserves a sep. thread. Is there any plan to have a reenactment or a pageant or something at Marathon for 2010? Isn't 2010 the 2500th anniversary of the battle? Wouldn't this make a great excuse to get every classical impression in the world to one place? Giannis, do you know? I've asked the GoG in Canada and the Town of marathon and neither seems to have anything planned--or perhaps they don't need to tell a weird Canadian...
In North America, we do this sort of thing pretty often--so, for instance, next year is the 250th anniversary of the siege of Quebec (Montcalm and Wolfe) and so I'm taking 50 friends as the Bourgeoise Milice de Montreal. Making kit isn't that hard... anyway, we anticipate 8000 participants and 100K of public for Quebec. Surely Marathon would be the same if it got organized? I mean, it is only one of the most important battles in western history (at least in the public imagination!)
