Since its inception in 2010, the Herodotos Project has stimulated research along many fronts. On this page we document the publications — including Master’s theses — and the various public presentations, at conferences and workshops, and in specialized discussion groups (by invitation), that have come out of the Project team members’ efforts so far.
