This study is concerned with how the Greek peoples, of primarily
the classical period, collectively commemorated the Persian Wars.
The data presented here are public monuments, which include both
physical and behavioural commemorations. The aim of this work is to
reveal and present the methods by which Greeks of the fifth century
BC commemorated the Persian Wars. Several trends have drawn
attention away from studies presenting commemorative practices in
their entirety: the focus on singular monument types, individual
commemorative places, a particular commemorating group or specific
battle, and an overemphasis on Athenian commemorations. This
project works towards rectifying this issue by highlighting the
variations in commemorative traditions. This holistic approach to
the data, which is inclusive in its remit of commemorative objects,
places, and groups, allows for a more complete representation of
the commemorative tradition. What emerges from this study is the
compilation of all known ancient Greek monuments to commemorate the
battles of Marathon, Salamis, Artemisium, Thermopylae and Plataea.
