Via Mary Beard, I found another Marathon anniversary project. I’ve never heard of the promoter, which looks to be a non-profit, but it appears to have the backing of the Greek Foreign Ministry to some extent.
It includes some web-based seminars that look interesting. For instance, there is one on Life of a Soldier: Greek and Persian that includes a 90 minute lecture and then a Question-and-Answer period. I found some conflicting information on how to sign up: I'm not sure if you have to be in an educational institution or if individuals can do it.
They also have a Herodotus reading group.
