Editor of the Landmark Herodotus, Landmark Thucydides, Landmark Xenophon, Landmark Arrian and forthcoming editions, Robert Strassler is widely acclaimed for making the work of these ancient Greek historians accessible to modern readers. In his lecture, he will talk with Professor Paul Cartledge, A.G. Leventis Chair of Greek History at Cambridge and the chair of Marathon2500, about Herodotus, the first historian, and how in writing about the Persian Wars – incluiding the Battle of Marathon - Herodotus invented history.
