Marathon2500 Project - Reading Odyssey, Inc.

Professor Tom Scanlon delivered the sixth Marathon2500 lecture on Tuesday, April 5 focused on the fascinating and puzzling legend(s) of Pheidippides (or whatever his name was), ancient long-distance messenger runners ("day runners" hemerodromoi) as a class, ancient footraces in the stadium, perhaps a bit about the Olympic truce (on the theme of sport and war), the Marathon Race in the modern Olympics, and modern long-distance running.
